  UX is your specialty but you have no screen caps of your portfolio next to each project name. If I want an overview of your work I need to click through each link, instead of simply scrolling through the page and then clicking on what I’m interested in. No offence, but that’s some poorly thought out UX right there. What good is it that it ‘runs ultra fast’?
  - acconrad 8y ago
    Thank you for the feedback! Do you have examples of screen caps you like? I had considered this but decided to take it out because of wanting to keep to the old school terminal aesthetic. Plus since I do a lot of programming, I figured linking to the site to see how it works might be more useful than simply a screen grab, since I'm not the one usually doing the design (which would make sense at that point). User experience and performance go hand-in-hand. Users get frustrated if a site loads slowly or doesn't function. So I made sure to have a site that does those things (plus web performance is one of my specialties).

- jamestimmins 8y ago
  I really love this use of shadow! It creates a fantastic appearance of depth. One thought: Since the shadow redraws itself based on cursor position, when you move the cursor off of the grey background container and back on in a different location, the shadow effect seems to skip. At first I thought the site was buggy/lagging. It might be worth it to extend the CSS/JS trigger to the entire viewable document, rather than just the grey box.
  - bbaumgar 8y ago
    Good catch!
- WilliamEdward 8y ago
  Not a big fan of the white border. That's just me though The words in the main paragraph are underlined but not links to anything? Make them link to something. I can't scroll properly but i'm sure you will fix that. Emphasize what work you actually did at those brands you listed.
- kotrunga 8y ago

  Love this site! Watched a couple of the videos too, and you've got some great visualizations. I know you said that you're not great at explaining what you've done with words, but having a couple of lines that express to me (especially as a non-expert) what your contribution was for each video would serve you really well: i.e. the videos look cool, but I don't know what it was that you did that was hard.

  Nested iframes on that last one. Do you remember sites that would popup hundreds of popups - not virus/porn sites, but design sites that would orchestrate a variety of images in the popups? I recall iframes that would bring up more iframes as well. I wonder where we'd be if we'd followed these routes instead.

  Seen some of this before, but glad to see it again. Your site is well done - I particularly like the timeline overview of your life. Everyone should do one of those. I've been obsessed with 1995 era Yahoo/DMOZ link directories lately - your site reminds me of a little directory to your life. I don't know if you track heart rate and stuff like that, but I was honestly glad it was more of a summary than an exhaustive data dump. Thankyou.

  Cool portfolio! Wow that time-shifted comment patent is cool stuff, doesn't every social video platform used time-shifted comments or does your patent cover a specific nuanced scenario within this space, cause it seems many companies do video streaming chat like the way the patent described e.g. twitch, Facebook live, etc.
- nikofeyn 8y ago
  your patent is an example of what's wrong with the software patent industry. i don't mean to be rude, although you did feature it promo prominently as the first bit of information about you on your resume. i mean, does soundcloud or any of the multitude of video websites that have done this for years have to pay you license fees?

ChrisLomont 8y ago
My old (handcoded starting in 1999, so ancient tech) site www.lomont.org. It now looks like 1999, so needs some serious updating, which led me to making www.clomont.com, in the hopes someday I will merge them with newer tech to make it easier to post articles. Now I'm leaning on using or making a static site generator, needs markdown supporting math via some LaTeX flavored plugin, and simple to edit. Maybe one day when I'm less busy I'll get around to merging, updating, and posting the gazillion articles/talks/progs I've done that have gone unposted.

- kickscondor 8y ago
  I find links by clicking on different Twitter users' links or clicking around on "indieweb" blogs. But today has been amazing - having a chance to look at a variety of designs and blogs shared by their creators. These designs you linked are more modern than the others that I've seen. It made me realize that there is a lot of nostaglia - either utter minimalism or vaporwave - floating around in personal pages right now - which I do enjoy. But these go in giant page directions. Another good example in this direction is: http://aaf.nyc http://aaf.nyc. It's not a long page, but has a large feeling.
  - throwmenow_0140 8y ago
    Never knew that so many developers go to such extremes w.r.t minimalism. The site you've linked has great videos in the background and I like the animated logo, that really helps in making it interesting. Personally, I still prefer those sites I've linked, because I know that they are harder to make than those minimalistic/no-css sites. I think it depends if it's a backend dev or a full stack web dev with a focus on UI/UX. In the latter case, it's a good way to show off what you're capable of. With those minimalistic designs (some of them also have bad UX) I don't really know if they're able to create modern, responsive and more complex websites.

  I have bookmarked the pastels blog entry to revisit - I think this is a fun post. Your blue puts you with the other link here https://moeamaya.com/ https://moeamaya.com/ which is good company. One question: is there a reason you chose to go with left-right arrows on the photo page and scrolling on the code page? You are doing good work. Continue.
  - ivanech 8y ago
    Thanks! I went with left-right arrows because that's pretty much the standard for fine art photographers and I did scrolling on the code page because I suspect that developers would get frustrated with the lack of information density. I feel weird that the photos are the odd page out, but I struggled with finding an alternative when I made this.

My previous "hunt" is there - but I'll make a new page there over the next day, archiving my old one. Thank you for being generous with your links. I think there is a kind of resistance toward self-promotion of your personal pages these days. Or perhaps you feel like no one wants to see your page. Well, I do. I want to find pages that can't be found by Googling. One also has to look through every page to find the obscure pages that can be loved. I would encourage all of you too to be curious about what is out there. There is still much to do on the web - it has just become very orderly in general.

Huge respect to those that can consistently push out content. I have a big list of articles I want to write, but always lose motivation when it comes down to it. Maybe I'm a slow writer, it seems to take me an entire day to write something I'm proud to share.

  Definitely look into something like S3 + CloudFront, or Netlify if you don't want to set any of that up yourself.
  - Brajeshwar 8y ago
    Yes, S3 + CloudFront. I host a bunch of domains, including few whose properties/IP/company was acquired. The monthly for the static hosting is less than a dollar a month. Cloudflare > CloudFront + S3 (sometimes just S3 responding to Cloudflare's request). I could have done Route53 but I've lots of other domains managed by Cloudflare. I have a single instance Jekyll setup that spits out a bunch of index.html files for all the domains, including my primary personal[1]. To automate further, the setup runs within a few NPM modules, and gulp does the compile and build. When I need to change/update something, I let it build and then deploy to the primary S3 Bucket. The deployment is done with the S3_website[2] Gem. Been running this setup for over 3 years or so. I can strip away everything and just stay with the minimal Jekyll setup and manually upload the files. 1. https://brajeshwar.me https://brajeshwar.me 2. https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website

dyarosla 8y ago
UX is your specialty but you have no screen caps of your portfolio next to each project name. If I want an overview of your work I need to click through each link, instead of simply scrolling through the page and then clicking on what I’m interested in. No offence, but that’s some poorly thought out UX right there. What good is it that it ‘runs ultra fast’?
- acconrad 8y ago
  Thank you for the feedback! Do you have examples of screen caps you like? I had considered this but decided to take it out because of wanting to keep to the old school terminal aesthetic. Plus since I do a lot of programming, I figured linking to the site to see how it works might be more useful than simply a screen grab, since I'm not the one usually doing the design (which would make sense at that point). User experience and performance go hand-in-hand. Users get frustrated if a site loads slowly or doesn't function. So I made sure to have a site that does those things (plus web performance is one of my specialties).
kickscondor 8y ago

jamestimmins 8y ago
I really love this use of shadow! It creates a fantastic appearance of depth. One thought: Since the shadow redraws itself based on cursor position, when you move the cursor off of the grey background container and back on in a different location, the shadow effect seems to skip. At first I thought the site was buggy/lagging. It might be worth it to extend the CSS/JS trigger to the entire viewable document, rather than just the grey box.

Nested iframes on that last one. Do you remember sites that would popup hundreds of popups - not virus/porn sites, but design sites that would orchestrate a variety of images in the popups?

Cool portfolio! Wow that time-shifted comment patent is cool stuff, doesn't every social video platform used time-shifted comments or does your patent cover a specific nuanced scenario within this space, cause it seems many companies do video streaming chat like the way the patent described e.g. twitch, Facebook live, etc.
nikofeyn 8y ago
your patent is an example of what's wrong with the software patent industry. i don't mean to be rude, although you did feature it promo prominently as the first bit of information about you on your resume. i mean, does soundcloud or any of the multitude of video websites that have done this for years have to pay you license fees?

My old (handcoded starting in 1999, so ancient tech) site www.lomont.org. It now looks like 1999, so needs some serious updating, which led me to making www.clomont.com, in the hopes someday I will merge them with newer tech to make it easier to post articles. Now I'm leaning on using or making a static site generator, needs markdown supporting math via some LaTeX flavored plugin, and simple to edit. Maybe one day when I'm less busy I'll get around to merging, updating, and posting the gazillion articles/talks/progs I've done that have gone unposted.

kickscondor 8y ago
I find links by clicking on different Twitter users' links or clicking around on "indieweb" blogs. But today has been amazing - having a chance to look at a variety of designs and blogs shared by their creators. These designs you linked are more modern than the others that I've seen. It made me realize that there is a lot of nostaglia - either utter minimalism or vaporwave - floating around in personal pages right now - which I do enjoy. But these go in giant page directions. Another good example in this direction is: http://aaf.nyc http://aaf.nyc. It's not a long page, but has a large feeling.
- throwmenow_0140 8y ago
  Never knew that so many developers go to such extremes w.r.t minimalism. The site you've linked has great videos in the background and I like the animated logo, that really helps in making it interesting. Personally, I still prefer those sites I've linked, because I know that they are harder to make than those minimalistic/no-css sites. I think it depends if it's a backend dev or a full stack web dev with a focus on UI/UX. In the latter case, it's a good way to show off what you're capable of. With those minimalistic designs (some of them also have bad UX) I don't really know if they're able to create modern, responsive and more complex websites.

I have bookmarked the pastels blog entry to revisit - I think this is a fun post. Your blue puts you with the other link here https://moeamaya.com/ https://moeamaya.com/ which is good company. One question: is there a reason you chose to go with left-right arrows on the photo page and scrolling on the code page? You are doing good work. Continue.
- ivanech 8y ago
  Thanks! I went with left-right arrows because that's pretty much the standard for fine art photographers and I did scrolling on the code page because I suspect that developers would get frustrated with the lack of information density. I feel weird that the photos are the odd page out, but I struggled with finding an alternative when I made this.

I added a little thank you in the README: https://github.com/iechevarria/iechevarria.github.io https://github.com/iechevarria/iechevarria.github.io

That's neat. They're individually drawn with divs.

Love it! Very cool concept.
mixmastamyk 8y ago
As someone familiar with front-end technologies, I'm always surprised at how folks build such a thing. Wouldn't know where to start. Guessing it has something to do with css transforms to make boxes diagonals.

I like the small "highlights I’m proud of" section. It's a nice approach. To me it feels more, genuine, I guess? I always feel uncomfortable talking about what I'm good at. I really like how you frame accomplishments as something you are proud of without it coming off like a big marketing pitch.

Here is mine! https://benjamintaylorportfolio.netlify.com/#/ https://benjamintaylorportfolio.netlify.com/#/ Built with Vue.js and uses Wordpress REST API as a headless content management system.

kickscondor 8y ago
Very well organized. And PDFs that go into detail on the design.

  Thank you :) I worked hard on it!
gitgud 8y ago
Very nice! Like the lazy loading of images etc.
- benjvmin 8y ago
  Thanks so much, I actually wrote about how I achieved that as my first blog post: https://benjamintaylorportfolio.netlify.com/#/post/lazy-loading-images-with-vue-js-directives https://benjamintaylorportfolio.netlify.com/#/post/lazy-load... Instead of reaching for an external library I decided to go with my own solution and I like to think that it made me more appreciative of Vue.js in general.

unhingingdog 8y ago

Here's mine: h12n.nz Possibly a bit grandiose. Any feedback much appreciated.

kickscondor 8y ago
That's a nice effect. Are there other pages?
- unhingingdog 8y ago
  Thanks. Just the one page at present.

My personal site: https://me.thatcoolidea.com https://me.thatcoolidea.com The typing interaction was inspired from a site called Hacker Typer. I like how it invests the user in the sight by inviting them to interact immediately. (View on PC. It's non interactive on mobile)

stir 8y ago

I actually finished mine the other day: https://sterlingdemille.com https://sterlingdemille.com Boy, making a portfolio is excruciating. All these links make it look so easy, but when I started it was like pulling teeth. If anyone has feedback (harsh even), I'd love to hear it!

kickscondor 8y ago

Just as a notice to everyone here, I am going to make a nice directory of these links at http://www.kickscondor.com/hrefhunt/ http://www.kickscondor.com/hrefhunt/. My previous "hunt" is there - but I'll make a new page there over the next day, archiving my old one. Thank you for being generous with your links. I think there is a kind of resistance toward self-promotion of your personal pages these days. Or perhaps you feel like no one wants to see your page. Well, I do. I want to find pages that can't be found by Googling. One also has to look through every page to find the obscure pages that can be loved. I would encourage all of you too to be curious about what is out there. There is still much to do on the web - it has just become very orderly in general.

I actually quite like it. It is fast, to the point and funnels you through a way to contact you.
- streety 8y ago
  Thanks. I'm pleased you mentioned the speed. When I created the site it wasn't something I focused on but I have thought about more recently. I'll aim for any changes I make to be at worse time neutral.

https://nathan.sucks https://nathan.sucks I like to think that if any future employers don’t enjoy my self-deprecating humor it probably won’t make a great fit anyway. I used the site as an opportunity to roll my own static site generator for no reason. Bit of a whatever website, but it was a fun learning experience nonetheless.

trevor-e 8y ago

Will throw mine in the mix: https://trevore.com/ https://trevore.com/ Static site built with hugo, hosted on a 5$/month DigitalOcean droplet, using LetsEncrypt for TLS. Been considering some other hosting options that might be cheaper since I barely get any traffic, other than a couple times my posts went viral. Huge respect to those that can consistently push out content. I have a big list of articles I want to write, but always lose motivation when it comes down to it. Maybe I'm a slow writer, it seems to take me an entire day to write something I'm proud to share.

ihattendorf 8y ago
Definitely look into something like S3 + CloudFront, or Netlify if you don't want to set any of that up yourself.
- Brajeshwar 8y ago
  Yes, S3 + CloudFront. I host a bunch of domains, including few whose properties/IP/company was acquired. The monthly for the static hosting is less than a dollar a month. Cloudflare > CloudFront + S3 (sometimes just S3 responding to Cloudflare's request). I could have done Route53 but I've lots of other domains managed by Cloudflare. I have a single instance Jekyll setup that spits out a bunch of index.html files for all the domains, including my primary personal[1]. To automate further, the setup runs within a few NPM modules, and gulp does the compile and build. When I need to change/update something, I let it build and then deploy to the primary S3 Bucket. The deployment is done with the S3_website[2] Gem. Been running this setup for over 3 years or so. I can strip away everything and just stay with the minimal Jekyll setup and manually upload the files. 1. https://brajeshwar.me https://brajeshwar.me 2. https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website
