First step on my "Build in public journey"
I've deployed a v0 of my tech portfolio! 💪
Portfolio: https://amascort.io/
Tech Stack:
- NextJS (I'm not a good frontend but I've followed some beginners tutorials)
- Hosted on Vercel (very satisfying experience, it's almost automatic)
TODO's:
- Build an experience timeline
- MOST important ⚠️ → Projects Section
P.S. Suggestions are welcome!
Don't forget marketing... get a plan in place for researching your market and starting your own content marketing / outreach.
Hey!
Has been very interesting, and I liked the approach of getting an overview about what is being searched and what interests are increasing.
Thanks for sharing this blog!
Don't forget that you're also able to get sign ups even before launching your product! I came across several threads on IH on this topic which would definitely be useful to you. All the best for your launches!
True! I'll keep it in mind👌🏻
Thank you MSohaib!
Good start Alejandro.
Thank you mate! 💪
Nice little page. Good on you for starting.
As others have said, don't forget about marketing :)
If you are interested in tips and motivation on how to proceed with building in public let me know. I have written a very simple guide on my blog covering most of the bases.
Of course I’m interested! Share me your blog, I’ll read it for sure
Here is the post I have written :)
Fell free to hit me up with feedback, if you have any!
Hey!
I've read your blog and thought it could be nice a list of most recommended books for every stage in your building in public: something like getting valuable info from your customers (f.e. the mom test)
Thanks for reading!
Are you thinking of something like a "resources" section? I have read the Mom test and think it would fit super well in there.
Regarding other books/resources, I want to make sure I have read them AND they fit the "Building in public" theme. I think I could also add "Make" by @levelsio
Do you have other suggestions?
hahaha these are the same I would recommend , so I'm very aligned with you!
Another interesting books I've read are the ones written by justin kleon, he is an artist but the way he aboard sharing what you build is pretty nice
Ah yeah. I have actually read the "Steal like an artist" trilogy of his as well.
It's quite good. I think I'm going to add a small section with resources.
Thanks for your feedback Alejandro!
Thanks to you too! 💪
Can I ask what is the goal for this project? Are you building it for recruiters, investors or fellow devs? Good luck!
I would say fellow devs, I’ll use it to show what has been built and how
Excellent - just saying use your energy/time wisely, have a goal in mind. Good luck!
I’ll do it!
Thank you! 🙌🏻
Hi Alejandro, looks great! I'm building in public linkja.co, a Linktree alternative for devs and I would like to ask what would be the most important things you would like to share with your portfolio.
I really appreciate any suggestion!
I would say having a Works section explaining your works and also:
I think this will demonstrate lot of transparency and probably will generate engagement
Awesome! How much does the hosting cost?
Its totally free, as I'm using the hobby plan!

Oh nice! I've been meaning to build my own blog. Is this a static site or are you planning to add a blog component? would love to see how you'd implement that :)
Yes! Now it is a static site, in the future maybe I impement a blog component, and also I will share the code on twitter
