Ask HN: maintaining a code portfolio and personal app store

2 points by nzjames 15 years ago | 3 comments

Are there any websites/services that combine version control, project management (wiki,bug tracker) that would also be suitable as a portfolio?

I want to put my work/projects in one place Some might provide full source access Some might just be project info and pictures (no code) Projects could be published or private Software could be for sale

I'm getting at something like a sortfolio.com for hackers whose needs might vary but who could benefit from some structure and organisation. It can take a long time before ones happy to release software but if it only took a click to do it can't be left in the to hard basket for ever.

Pretty open question. Thoughts?

AFAIK, it's hard to get all the functionality you list on one place because different systems focus on different things. Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) is the choice for a lot of people for project management, it includes a bug tracker, a wiki and is pretty mature.

Dropbox and Git combination works like a charm to store pretty much everything. Rather than waste a lot of time organizing your stuff, you can write a quick application using Lucene that will perform full-text search on text and tags.

I'm happy with the technical stuff. I've used Trac, BitBucket and tried Git Hub before. I haven't run Git on Dropbox but I could see how that makes the backed up repo nice and easy.

But making projects presentable to potential clients/users is where I'm coming up short.

http://unfuddle.com/ does this. Although I'm not sure how you would use it as a portfolio.
