💻 #92: Build a 3D Portfolio Project with Three.js 🔮

Build your own 3D portfolio site plus a language learning app that actually works

Nov 24, 2023

Hello, developer 👋🧑‍💻!

Let’s build an interactive 3D portfolio! This is a great way to set yourself apart from other developers. Plus Three.js is a great library to learn if you every want to build 3D elements on your projects.

But before we start…

I have a Black Friday deal 🎉

For $5 I will review your portfolio, for $10 I will ROAST your friend’s portfolio.

… just kidding (unless you really ask for it). This week, if you have a portfolio, project, or code snippet you’d like me to review, just buy me a coffee and share the URL or email me and I will review anything you’d like.

3 frontend projects of the week:

Use these projects to inspire future projects of your own.

1. Giglish

Learning a new language but can’t find a language partner? This app helps you practice your target language with an AI teacher. I’ve been using this to learn Dutch and it’s very helpful. This is one of those projects I really wish I created.

Check it out!

2. David Adler Portfolio

Here’s a single-page, yet creative portfolio. My guess how this is built by checking mouse placement and rendering a new image. Does anyone have any other ideas on how you could build this?
