Looks nice, but as other have mentioned, would love to see a demo or even a link to an existing folio before I jump in.

Hello Product Hunters!
Its a delight to be featured today. I am the co founder of Webfolio and I am more than happy to answer any questions and hope that other developers will find this useful.
The idea behind Webfolio was to create an easy way to collate snippets of code from GitHub or Bitbucket to send alongside a CV / resumé.
Ideal for developers who may have lots of private Github repositories and often have to jump through hoops to provide examples of past work.
@aditya_shirole @yakovkarda @juantabone @arasheedphoto @tomwasd I have just put together a very basic example Webfolio displaying the layout that I had found useful. However, tailoring your Webfolio to a particular job application is important i.e including relevant snippets of the languages / skills highlighted in the job spec.
Here is are link if you want to take a look: https://my.webfol.io/w/MjI0
@russellbarnard so I just started working on my folio and the experience is great so far. Is there any way to use CSS to style the page?
@juantabone This is one of a number of features that we will be adding in the near future. At the moment we just wanted to launch with an MVP. We actually removed some features such as analytics to keep the initial launch as simple as possible.
Any other features you feel may be needed please let us know.
Hey, nice idea :) Any chance of adding a demo on the home page? Would be great to see what my webfolio would look like before I sign up
I'm a bit of a coding noob - what's the difference between this and GitHub, aside from being a bit more to-the-point?
EDIT: Didn't mean to post as a reply, but can't delete.
@tomwasd Hi Tom, thanks for the suggestion and I completely agree. We are looking at getting something like this setup as soon as possible.
@gpat_uk Hi Graham, this is a great question, like many other developers my work is on private repositories and so Webfolio allowed me to display work that wouldn’t otherwise be visible when linking to Github. We wanted to keep this as simple as possible for both sides, so an employer can quickly get a snapshot of your coding ability which not only saves time but the snippets can be tailored to their specific requirements, giving the developer a better chance of success. Hope this answers your question.
Design is simple and logical. PH 'forever free' plan is generous.
On step of linking snippets I was confused though. I tried to click on the 'tutorial' buttons to link accounts and they didn't worked until I clicked the next-next until the happy end, but maybe this is just me.
Great product Russel @russelbarnard, congratulations! Agree with the others — a sample portfolio might really help onboarding!
