Yep, you're right. I was curious about your project but as it hasn't launched yet and I wanted to make something on this weekend, that's what happened. I don't see a problem here to be honest. ;)
- sashagim 14y ago"that's what happened" It didn't just happen - seems like you have intentionally copied someone else's idea, down to naming and design. You're obviously entitled to do so, but it's not something I would run bragging about on hn, especially without giving any credit the original work. And saying "I don't see a problem here" after the original creator has pointed (quite gently) to the fact, is not very empathetic of you.
- tjosten 14y agoWell, I never indented to offend him or anyone else. I'm waiting for his app to launch and when it's great I'm gonna use it, that's it. But for the meantime, I build my own thing and as I mostly do, I set it free to others.
- onli 14y agoMay very well be, but you sure could've choosen at least a different name. And a design of your own wouldn't have hurt.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoIt's a different misspelling of Portfolio, a dictionary word descriptive of what it is. I see no issues here.
- zakx 14y agoI think using Bootstrap pretty much fits to the "i built this in a weekend" idea. He could always come up with a better design later.
- megablast 14y agoSome people go out and do, other people talk about it. And I wasn't aware that anybody owned the space. Good for you.
