Comment on Show HN: I designed and coded my first portfolio

It's not much, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

I tried to let my work speak for itself by keeping the visual flourish to a minimum. I learned a lot about using white space and typography to enhance a fairly minimal design.

My compliments on the presentation.

Because there is nothing for people to try out or play with, the portfolio is not really in keeping with the big idea of Show HN.

Given the quality of the presentation, there's a possibility that a blog post about the design process would be an interesting read and worth submitting.

Good luck.

Thanks and sorry! Will keep that in mind next time I use Show HN.

Looks great. Love FF Meta. And I like your numbered side-notes. I feel like your name should be visually distinguished from "Product designer" a little more, but that's not a big deal. Nice work.

Looks very nice, good balance between overview and substance. You have both code and design in your byline, but there is very little emphasis if on problem solving using code in the cases.

Hmm. Good point. I guess it would be more technically accurate to say I wield design to solve problems, and code to build out my designs.

Can't say I've solved many strictly technical problems outside of some quick Python scripts to analyze board game endgames.
