"that's what happened"

It didn't just happen - seems like you have intentionally copied someone else's idea, down to naming and design. You're obviously entitled to do so, but it's not something I would run bragging about on hn, especially without giving any credit the original work.

And saying "I don't see a problem here" after the original creator has pointed (quite gently) to the fact, is not very empathetic of you.

Well, I never indented to offend him or anyone else. I'm waiting for his app to launch and when it's great I'm gonna use it, that's it. But for the meantime, I build my own thing and as I mostly do, I set it free to others.
May very well be, but you sure could've choosen at least a different name. And a design of your own wouldn't have hurt.
It's a different misspelling of Portfolio, a dictionary word descriptive of what it is. I see no issues here.
I think using Bootstrap pretty much fits to the "i built this in a weekend" idea. He could always come up with a better design later.
