Show HN: Terminal-Style Portfolio on the Internet

An indie developer just launched a personal website that looks like an old-school computer terminal: you type commands like “who,” “skills,” and “projects” and the site responds. The crowd loved the nostalgia at first, but comment drama arrived fast. Minimalists cheered the retro vibe yet demanded fewer strings attached: one top voice begged to ditch Google Fonts and slim down the giant phone icon, calling it a “perfect” win for speed and privacy.

Then came the authenticity police. Fans wanted real command-line behavior—actual “ls” and “whoami,” plus a script that prints the résumé right there, not a redirect to LinkedIn. The fiercest gripe? Animations. Purists said the text should print line by line, not magically appear, or the illusion breaks. Amid the debate, a playful comment yelled “Try ‘SECRET’,” kicking off a mini Easter egg hunt, while someone else found a legit bug: clicking past project 5 caused a blackout that needed a refresh.

So yes, many declared it “Very good,” but the vibe became half applause, half courtroom. It’s style vs. substance: pixel-perfect nostalgia vs. strict realism, candy effects vs. honest output. Also, that cheeky version “1.6.9” drew snickers. Verdict: the portfolio’s cool—and the comments made it cooler today.
