What is portora-v2?

Portora is a portfolio platform for freelancers who build digital products, whether they write code, use no-code tools, or both. The problem it aims to solve is that existing portfolio sites tend to lean too heavily toward either developers or designers, leaving no-code builders as an afterthought on developer platforms and coders feeling boxed in on visual ones. Portora gives every type of builder a single, professional place to show their work. The core feature is a Portfolio Builder where you choose a layout style, Grid, Scroll, Terminal, Magazine, or Bento, then assemble your portfolio from a block library and style it with a theme panel. An Explore page lets visitors browse all published portfolios and filter by builder type, Coded, No-Code, Design, Automation, or Full-Stack, or sort by latest and trending. Portora also includes a built-in Blog section where you can write posts directly on the platform or connect external blogs from services like Hashnode, Dev.to, Medium, Substack, or Ghost, surfacing everything in one unified feed. A private Dashboard lets you manage portfolio content, track views, write posts, and connect external sources, and shows exactly how your profile appears to visitors. The platform is built with Next.js, a framework for building web applications, styled using Tailwind CSS, and stores data in MongoDB using the Mongoose library. Drag-and-drop interactions are handled by dnd-kit. It is written in TypeScript. The project is versioned as v2, suggesting it is a rebuild or continuation of an earlier iteration, though the README does not go into detail about what changed between versions.
