Hey guys, I recently launched Pocketsquare and was hoping to get some feedback from the people who might be the target users.<p>Pocketsquare lets you create a simple portfolio to showcase your skills (language, frameworks, etc), code snippets, projects you&#x27;ve worked on and optionally your work and education background.<p>My questions are: Is this something you need&#x2F;want? Would you use this? Why or why not?<p>I created Pocketsquare to give devs a better way to showcase their work. A front-end dev myself, I&#x27;ve maintained my own custom portfolio site for a few years and figured it made sense to abstract the layout and concept out to allow other devs to use it. For me, my public Github page isn&#x27;t a great representation of the stuff I like to work on, and LinkedIn isn&#x27;t really geared towards devs so it&#x27;s not ideal either. So I made Pocketsquare to focus on the stuff that I thought devs would want to show: code snippets, projects and skills badges.<p>Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate any feedback you guys have.

This looks good. Please email us at hn@ycombinator.com if you would like us to send a repost invite. This is an experiment we&#x27;ve been running to give good submissions a second chance.
