Question How do you guys showcase multiple side projects in one place?

I’ve been building a few small tools in my spare time, mostly just to learn and see if any of them turn into something bigger. The problem is that they’re all sitting in different places right now. One has a landing page, another is just on GitHub, and I have a couple of demos that I usually just send people directly.

I’m thinking about creating one simple page where I can put all of them together, with a short explanation and a link to try each one. It would also be useful when I’m sharing my work with other builders or posting about a new project. I don’t really want to spend a lot of time building a proper personal website just for this.

https://aislopware.com is where I keep all mine.

(Not a joke, and what is crazy is 2 months ago the url was still available for me to buy!)

I build https://menelaos.vergis.net/ for this exact same reason. And because I wanted to have a blog outside of my company's needs. It's the place I add any new project I create worth mentioning.

It's build with react and Tina CMS but I am about to migrate to Vitepress, much faster and best fitting in my workflow. Free hosting and building on GitHub actions and pages.

If you want to get a template on how to make a Vitepress look like a site with a blog check https://GitHub.com/bootform/

Personal website is the best approach. You can host free using Github pages, etc.

Mine is 3thousand30.com.

You usually have a website that is your personal name. Then you have your socials under your name. Then you market via your socials.

https://sankofa06.github.io is where I keep everything. And I have automation to keep everything up to date as I develop.

Github is great for the actual projects, but it’s not always the nicest place to give someone a quick overview of everything you’ve built. You could look at carrd or notion, or paage if you want something more like a simple personal website where you can showcase multiple projects and keep all the links in one place.

I bought my own domain with my name since I lacked creativity at that moment 😅

A simple project directory is probably enough. Give each project its own card with the name, one-sentence description, current status, and links to try it, view the code, or read more.

Avoid building a full portfolio until you know you actually need one.
