The goal is to make portfolios feel a bit more fun, interactive, and more like something a developer would actually enjoy using.

With ShellSelf, you can make a portfolio that looks like a real terminal. Visitors can type commands like about, projects, and skills to explore your profile.

I would love your feedback

I’m Phil, a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-impact web applications across frontend and backend. I’ve spent my career shipping fast, solving real problems, and turning ideas into real products.

I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and everything required to take a product from prototype → production → scale. I love working where engineering, UX, and product meet — designing features, running growth experiments, and delivering end-to-end systems that actually move the needle.

I see my self as a product engineer as I love to take a problem and go from 0 to production! I take ownership!

I’ve built and launched 10+ products, mostly solo — sharpening my skills across engineering, UX, distribution, and growth. I love creating tools that are useful, weird, or just fun to build. Some of my projects include:

• InterestingBars.com – Unique bars around the world • puzzlepostcards.shop – Send a puzzle postcard • ReclaimDesk.com – Modern lost & found management • UseStockStore.com – Simple inventory management app • DumpIt.app – AI-powered audio note-taking • ChronaGraph – Simple graph workflows for AI • TallyTabby.com – Minimal counting app • QRFeedback.app – Instant customer feedback via a QR code • ShiftingTicTacToe.com – Real-time twist on a classic game • DecodeBodyLanguage.com – AI nonverbal insights

But i can start with the companies i know and use i guess

In case helpful, I collected some startups I find interesting, see the startup lists section: https://chrisbarber.co/start-here/.

Though I think the ideal would be:

* What are the products you find most enjoyable to use?

* Of those, which ones do you have ideas for improvement based on your usage?

* Who are the best people you've ever worked with or collaborated with?

* Where do they work today?

Hackathons in areas you have an interest are great for connections as well.

That can be the end result if you go with a webmail client like Roundcube or SoGo, yes.

If you go with a managed provider, as mentioned, I think they should all have some options for that in their paid plans and you'd have to consult their docs on it.
