Show HN: I cloned HN to make a simple portfolio page
I figured, "what better way to look at a list of (hopefully) inspiring projects?"
The upvotes work and are globally synced.
- djeastm 2y agoI wish my first name rhymed with "y" so I could make my portfolio domain name clever.

- yinyang_in 2y agoHave similar themed website at : https://kbs.murarisumit.in/ https://kbs.murarisumit.in/ No upvotes seems nice idea to add. Thanks
- BigParm 2y agoFun idea I love it
- gregsadetsky 2y agoit truly takes a second for the site to register visually :-) haha amazing work Guy! and amazing projects........!!!!
- lanewinfield 2y agoNews: Show HN: HN hacked to show newsworthy hacker ideas
- BajaTheFrog 2y agoIncredibly sick. Common Guy W. Keep 'em coming dude!!
- langcss 2y agoThe upvotes are a nice touch. Been able to affect a portfolio site makes it a bit more interesting. But with just one vote I can't cause too much damage.
- gvy-dvpont 2y agoYeah, thanks! I think that's what makes it actually kinda work. And if you clear cookies you get as many votes as you want :P
- ilt 2y agoYou should think about randomizing the list of projects so as to not affect the votes via primacy effect
- gvy-dvpont 2y agoYeah, I didn't initially have multiple ways to sort but added that in later yesterday so this is probably a good idea as a default. Though it would cancel out the real-time leaderboard aspect (projects move up automatically) a little bit. And truthfully getting any eyes on older projects on the internet is such a W in my book. I'ma think about this more, good suggestion.
- gus_massa 2y agoNice. I upvoted a few projects. If I click on your name at the top, it goes to https://www.guycombinator.net/news https://www.guycombinator.net/news that is a 404. Perhaps you should make all the "Guy" in every post also clicky. (It's more natural to click on the name of the submitter of on post than on the name in the title bar.)
- dmcbeing 2y agoLol fun idea. By the way the logo / top left 'G' in your site links to ycombinator, not sure if intended, but i would expect it would go to your site (perhaps bio/about?).
- gvy-dvpont 2y agonot intended, but I think it's only fair to leave _some_ link back to the original. I don't have much else to link to besides what's at the bottom at the moment.
- gvy-dvpont 2y agoAh thanks! will fix. So many links on the original page, missed a bunch. Good idea on the name but I dunno where I'd have it go from here.
- gus_massa 2y agoPerhaps make your name at the top and each "Guy" a link to https://linktr.ee/guy_dupont https://linktr.ee/guy_dupont or https://hackaday.io/dupontgu https://hackaday.io/dupontgu (I think your GitHub profile is missing in linktree.)
- CamelCaseName 2y agoThis is so cool, I love it
- mandeepj 2y agoI think a look similar to Pinterest or Google+ is better suited rather than HN to show your portfolio
- gvy-dvpont 2y agoI think you are right, but if you look at my projects you'll see I have very little interest in practicality!
