IMHO your domain name is a confusable that will make many people think it’s offline if they try to manually type in that domain name - because even I typed in portfolio dot app, and not portfolo dot app. And portfolio.app doesn’t lead anywhere - the owner of that domain name hasn’t stood anything up.

And while this product may appeal to many, IMHO most technical people are going to want to self-host in some fashion in order to avoid the issue of niche/boutique SAAS products being suddenly discontinued by their creators.

I certainly don’t touch the vast majority of SAAS products unless it has a significant commercial backing behind it, and even then I try to avoid SAAS as much as possible for philosophical reasons: if I can’t control it, I can’t depend on it.

+1, I also read it as portfolio.app at first
I think something based on portfolio would be better.

portfoliohq, tryportfolio, useportfolio, withportfolio etc.
