So many have done this before and recently - Coderwall, Collegefeed, and Path.To, just to name the first three that occur to me - but I've never seen portfolio minimalism done so well. It integrates blogs, projects, credentials, and social profiles efficiently and beautifully.<p>Now, please allow me to change the order of skills without typing them all back in...then put in a Stripe box, shut up and take my money.
Ha! I could have really really used this two days ago. I built my own in HTML/CSS for an interview.<p>There's a question: how does it sit with people that as a designer and developer, they should be able to (and be proud of) designing and building their own custom portfolio? Isn't the portfolio itself sort of a statement of your skills, and isn't it saying something if you offload that work to someone else?<p>Your site is beautiful. Really, hands down some great design work.<p>One thing I find lacking is that I can't see what the end product will look like before I sign up—nor even after I sign up. A screenshot of what exactly you're going to make for me and how it will look would really entice me.
Wow, this is really great! I <i>really</i> love what you've built. The mobile-friendly layout is a huge plus.<p>Some off-the-cuff notes for your backlog:<p>I might suggest overriding the default text selection (::selection) color. I say this because the active state of your fields are blue, and my default OS X highlight color is also blue, so I can't differentiate highlighted text while editing.<p>Also, it would be fun to quickly link this with twitter and or github to bootstrap a profile, as I found myself going there to compile the basic info about myself.<p>And like some others here have said ... add a simple premium play that lets me point a domain here and I'd seriously consider abandoning my blog and using this for my own personal domain. I was just thinking this morning that I'd like to redo my site to showcase some of the projects I am working on along with some basic info about myself. This would be perfect for that.<p>Congratulations on shipping!
The only group I don't see this working for is designers- pretty much every designer I've seen has made their own portfolio site and it's a great idea to- it's the one place you can show exactly how you'd make something if you had the freedom.<p>For coders and writers, etc., though- I love it.
Hi guys - I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback about Hoverboard. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them either here or (if you prefer) you can email me at dave@hoverboard.io.
Great UI/UX - nice to see flat ui being adopted by more and more upcoming sites/apps.<p>- Custom domains would be nice to have.<p>- Connecting and pulling info from social presence (twitter, linkedin, etc.) would be a great addition (something like coderwall does?).<p>- Choose the header image/background from some settings area with a list of stock options. Currently it shows some default one that can't be changed.<p>With these many of us wouldn't mind paying $x/month, yeah :)<p><a href="http://hoverboard.io/rishabhp" rel="nofollow">http://hoverboard.io/rishabhp</a>
This looks really great. I just wanted to point out that the "Write a Post" feature doesn't seem to work. I wrote a test entry and clicked save, it says:<p><pre><code> Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again.</code></pre>
Why was the example Brighton? Geolocation stuff or are you a skiffmate/werker/something else around here?<p>As a side note, been looking for something like this to start writing about things.
As mentioned, there are already lots of portfolio tools. However yours is really nice and I love the built in endorsement feature. My one criticism is there's too much branding on each user's portfolio. I wouldn't want the huge green "want a portfolio like this" link at the bottom of my portfolio. The logo link (top left) and "Powered by Hoverboard" link (bottom right) is enough.
Great product! I really like it. One thing, I would like to be able to show my real name instead of user name (in the title, at the top).<p>Keep it up!
Very nice, just the right amount of detail requested so that it is quick to fill in but not shallow and meaningless.<p><a href="http://hoverboard.io/simonbarker" rel="nofollow">http://hoverboard.io/simonbarker</a><p>BUG?: when uploading images it would be nice if there were some acknowledgement as, on Chrome Mac at least, there is no feed back until save and refresh.
I really like it, great design job.
You might already have thoughts in this direction but I would think about how to benefit from having a lot of devs and designers at the same place, posting blog posts and projects (the first thing that comes to mind is some sort of feeds). Good luck!
Excellent! Beautiful, streamlined, and all the features work really together. Very polished product. One issue, is that my header image clashes with my "tagline." [0] Any way to fix this?<p>[0]: <a href="http://hoverboard.io/jordanscales" rel="nofollow">http://hoverboard.io/jordanscales</a>
White text on a white background should be fixed. Perhaps detect automatically or allow for user customization.<p>Example: <a href="http://hoverboard.io/kristopher" rel="nofollow">http://hoverboard.io/kristopher</a>
Great! But I want to add a history of my projects and some of them were dated prior to 2008 (and none of them are scheduled to start in the future).<p>Also, I'd really like to point people at my linkedin profile.
For someone who doesn't want to customize everything and have a quick UI flushed out, its a good showcase for developers. I like the idea I have a hoverboard...
I signed up the other day, looks like a really nice start (I love the interface).<p>I would suggest that it could pull in certain stuff from linkedin as a baseline (roles and such)
This is pretty good (better than mine). But as a frontend developer, I like to create my own site/portfolio.<p><a href="http://premii.com" rel="nofollow">http://premii.com</a>
The site looks really great. I'm impressed!<p>One small typo on your personal post about shipping hoverboard:<p>"But that's more - Hoverboard isn't just a portfolio"<p>I believe you meant "But there's more..."
