One-click portfolio that combines your HN post, GitHub repo & demo into a beautiful, shareable page. Zero config, 30 seconds.
Every month, the “Ask HN: What Are You Working On?” thread collects over 900 comments — a firehose of raw creativity from solo developers and small teams. Yet 95% of those projects vanish within hours, buried under the next wave of links. A single Show HN post might get 20 upvotes and 5 comments, but there’s no persistent, searchable home for that work. Developers pour weeks into building, then watch their launch fizzle because there’s no structured way to present the story — the HN discussion, the GitHub stars, the live demo — in one place.
Existing solutions fall short. GitHub profiles are code-centric and lack narrative; personal portfolios require design skills and hours of setup; Product Hunt demands a full product launch. None of them leverage the built-in social proof of a Show HN thread — the upvotes, the comments, the “why I built this” context that makes a project trustworthy. Developers are left stitching together links in a tweet or a README, hoping someone will piece it together.
Now is the perfect moment. The July 2026 “Ask HN” thread hit 924 comments and 243 points — the highest engagement in six months. The signal is clear: developers are hungry for visibility, and they’re actively searching for better ways to showcase their work. By offering a zero-friction, HN-native portfolio generator, we can capture this wave before it crests. Early adopters are already in the thread, waiting for a tool that makes their project stand out.
Paste your Hacker News username or the direct link to your Show HN post. No sign-up, no password — we use the public HN API to pull your submission history and discussion metadata.
Our engine fetches your Show HN post (title, points, comments), your GitHub repo (stars, description, README), and any demo link you provide. It assembles them into a clean, responsive page with a timeline, social proof badges, and a prominent “Try the Demo” button.
You get a permanent, shareable link like devshowcase.io/u/yourhandle. Add it to your HN profile, Twitter bio, or resume. Every time someone visits, they see the full story — upvotes, comments, code, and demo — in one glance.
No account creation, no database, no deployment pipeline. Just enter your HN username and we generate a polished project page in under 30 seconds. It’s the fastest way to turn a Show HN post into a permanent portfolio piece.
Your page automatically displays upvote count, comment threads, and the original HN discussion context. Visitors see that real people found your project valuable — a trust signal that no other portfolio tool offers.
Choose from a growing library of responsive, mobile-optimized themes designed specifically for project showcases. Each template highlights your demo, code, and community engagement — no CSS skills required.
