I'm a [B.Tech](http://B.Tech) student, and over the past few months I've been building a project called **Portlio**.

The idea came from a problem I kept facing myself: every time I completed a project, I had to manually update my portfolio. Eventually it became outdated.

So I built a tool where you connect your GitHub, choose the repositories you want to showcase, pick a template, and your portfolio updates automatically as you build more projects.

Over the last few weeks I've also:

* Added a demo mode (so anyone can try it without signing in)

* Improved the UI and onboarding

* Fixed bugs based on Reddit feedback

* Optimized performance

This is my first serious SaaS, and I'm still learning a lot. I'm not expecting everyone to use it, but I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback on the product, pricing, UI, or even whether you think the idea solves a real problem.

Demo: https://theportlio.com

If you're a student or developer, I'd love to know:

* Would you use something like this?

* What's the first thing you'd improve?

* Is anything confusing or unnecessary?

Brutally honest feedback is welcome. I want to make it genuinely useful before focusing on growth.

I've been building this over the past few months.

The biggest problem I wanted to solve was how quickly developer portfolios become outdated.

Portlio connects to GitHub, lets you choose the repositories you want to showcase, generates a portfolio website, and keeps it updated whenever your projects change.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the product, UX, or idea itself.

Demo available without signing in:

A few weeks ago I posted my project here and got some brutally honest feedback. People pointed out confusing navigation, performance issues, bugs, and that the product didn't inspire much confidence yet.

Instead of moving on, I spent the last few weeks fixing it.

Some of the bigger changes:

* Added a full demo mode (no sign-in required) * Improved the onboarding flow * Fixed repository selection bugs * Simplified the landing page and messaging * Reduced page load times and optimized performance * Improved reliability and overall UX * Better project descriptions and portfolio generation

The idea is simple: connect your GitHub account, choose which repositories to showcase, pick a template, and your portfolio stays updated automatically whenever your projects change.

I'm still actively building it, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback, especially on:

* Is the value proposition immediately clear? * Is anything confusing? * Would you actually use something like this?

I'm not looking for signups as much as I'm looking for criticism. The last round of feedback improved the product a lot, and I'd love another reality check.

A few weeks ago I shared Portlio here and got some brutally honest feedback.

The biggest criticism was that people didn't want to connect their GitHub account just to understand what the product actually does.

So I went back and rebuilt a good portion of it.

The biggest addition is Demo Mode.

Now you can explore the entire portfolio builder, switch between templates, customize sections, and see how everything works without signing in or connecting GitHub.

I also redesigned the landing page based on feedback:

• Better explanation of the problem
• Real portfolio examples
• Clearer GitHub privacy information
• More customization options
• Improved onboarding

I'd really appreciate another round of feedback.

• Does the demo make the product easier to understand?
• At what point would you decide to sign up (or not)?
• What still feels missing?

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback the first time, it genuinely helped shape this update.

First of all, I like reading gore and non conventional stories.

Dead tube started off great for me, the concept was unique and kinda was meta as well showing how social media can really fuck our minds mentally and physically if taken extremely.

But as the chapters progressed it just repetitive for me, like every arc is just the same, the characters are just one dimensional, and the story just doesn't go forward.

I read 75 chapters and stopped after feeling exhausted.

Is it just me or others think the same?

The budget is around 1.5 lakh. I initially thought of buying loq but now that costs higher and similar to legion or asus rog g series, so I don't know what to choose.

Legion gen 5

Asus rog g16

Loq gen10

And other brand would also help, i am not that keen on branding

I think buying the laptop in flipkart is better considering the exchange and credit card deals.

Do suggest a laptop, and the reason you think it's worth buying

I made **Portlio**: [https://theportlio.com/\](https://theportlio.com/)

The idea is simple:

​

* Connect your GitHub

* Pick the repositories you want to showcase

* Add context about your projects

* Generate a portfolio website

* As your GitHub changes, your portfolio stays up to date automatically

​

One piece of feedback I received early was that portfolios generated from GitHub can feel generic, so I've been redesigning the product to focus more on storytelling, customization, and showing *why* a project was built instead of just listing repositories.

​

Some features:

​

* Automatic GitHub sync

* Multiple portfolio templates

* Custom project descriptions and context

* GitHub Pages deployment

* Privacy controls (you choose which repositories appear)

​

I'm still actively developing it, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on the idea, the design, or features you'd want to see.

​

Constructive criticism is welcome.

For someone who wants to roam kozhikode and nearby places like kattangal on a scooter the whole night from 10PM to morning 8AM, what places are there to visit, to eat etc.

I'm a CS student and noticed that my portfolio was almost always out of date.

I'd finish projects, push code to GitHub, earn certificates, and learn new technologies, but I rarely remembered to update my portfolio website. By the time internship applications came around, my portfolio no longer reflected what I had actually been working on.

Because of that, I built Portlio.

It generates a developer portfolio from your GitHub profile and helps keep it updated automatically, so you spend less time maintaining a portfolio and more time building projects.

I'm looking for honest feedback from other students:

• Do you currently have a portfolio?
• How often do you update it?
• Would automatic updates be useful?
• What features would make a tool like this valuable for internship or job applications?

Any feedback, criticism, or feature suggestions would be helpful.

Hi everyone,

I'm a BTech student and recently built Portlio, a tool that generates and updates developer portfolios automatically.

The idea came from the fact that I rarely updated my portfolio after finishing projects, or making changes on GitHub.

I'd love some honest feedback on:

• The overall concept
• The UI/UX
• Whether the generated portfolios look professional
• Features you'd expect before using something like this
• Anything that feels confusing or unnecessary

How often do you actually update your portfolio website?

I realized mine was always months out of date because I kept forgetting to update projects, and GitHub activity.

That's what led me to build Portlio, a tool that generates and updates a portfolio automatically.

I'm curious whether others have the same problem or if I'm solving something nobody really cares about.

For those with portfolios:

• How often do you update them?
• What's the most annoying part?
• Would automatic updates be useful or do you prefer manual control?

I'd appreciate any thoughts.
