Terminal Portfolio
My old portfolio, rendered as a fake terminal you could actually type into
github.com
At some point every developer needs a portfolio site, and I wanted mine to feel like the kind of interface I actually spend my day in. So my first real portfolio was a fake terminal. You landed on it, saw a prompt, and navigated through my work by running commands like about, projects, and contact.
It was a deliberately weird choice. A lot of people who visited probably expected something more conventional, but the folks who stuck around and typed help seemed to enjoy it. More importantly, it was far more fun to build than a traditional landing page would have been.
Terminal Portfolio eventually evolved into something even more over-the-top, an entire fake operating system in the browser. You can read about that iteration in the PortfolioOS writeup. Not long after, I discovered terminal.satnaing.dev, which is an even nicer take on the same idea. Very much worth a look.
