[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;42123382]I made a thing using Node and Box2D that shows the currently running processes as tiny balls whose size corresponds to the amount of memory the process is using:
[vid]http://pictures.gabrielecirulli.com/v/balls.webm[/vid]
The balls dropping down from the top are new processes. The balls also automatically resize when the process starts using more memory. When a process dies, you can see the corresponding ball fly out towards the top.
The processes can range from a few kilobytes to a gigabyte, so it'd be impossible to actually set the ball's radius to the exact amount of memory each project uses because you'd get incredibly tiny balls and then some huge ones, so I first tried using a log scale, but the results didn't look very good. I wanted processes that take a lot of space to have a big ball and those that don't take much memory to still have a decent size. This is the formula I used:

Add names and kill buttons and you've got a task manager.

No kill button, just let you drag the ball out of the bucket.

Only took one for me, learned loads of HTML, CSS, SEO, PHP, sqlite, mongodb, some security, using APIs and more just from a single 9+ month project :V.
Ofc since I made the site with basically no knowledge at the start I still have a lot of kluge holding the backend together...

What's the general consensus towards one-page portfolio designs? Kinda like [URL="http://growtemplate.webflow.com/"]this[/URL]?
Trying to get ideas for my portfolio/personal site.
I like one-page portfolios better.

I like them, but they can get HUGE if you actually go into detail about the projects at all and do any case study sort of stuff.
Been working with the LastFM API to create a dynamic png which grabs the last song i have listened to on LastFM and updates with it

eh why not album art aswell?
Speaking of portfolios, I've been dicking around lately with other projects and attempts at web experiments. So since that has mostly been unfruitful, I thought I'd settle down and actually work on my portfolio page. I'm just not feeling satisfied with it though. I think it's because my previous works are bland and I still need to improve my craft, so when I look at a collection of my works, it's just a reminder of how far I still need to go. It's also just the layout itself, but I need to get something done.

I'm not sure what I want to do with the previews right now. I was thinking clicking the portraits or hovering over them should show options like view proof of concept and view demo or something along those lines. They should also probably give at the very least a blurb about the project.
Next up is the development page; I want it to grab information from my Google Code, Github, and Bitbucket account, so I'll be looking into how I want that to be laid out and see if I can interact with those sites through some client-side JS instead of hard coding that part of the page.

Looks nice, but give the user a way to get back to your site without editing the URL.
How important is it to theme Bootstrap when using it for a programmer's ([I]not webdesigner's[/I]) portfolio?
[QUOTE=Darkwater124;42142284]How important is it to theme Bootstrap when using it for a programmer's ([I]not webdesigner's[/I]) portfolio?[/QUOTE]
Using bootstrap for anything other than quick throw away stuff without theming it should be a sin. Why would you not want to make your portfolio look good and stand out? Good design is important even if you're not advertising yourself as a designer.
Not really sure where to go from here, but how does the nav bar look to you guys?

It looks like grey rectangles with text in them. The three on the right side are going to need lighter background to be very readable at all.
We can't really give much advice beyond that when you're just showing us a nav menu and a grey box. There's not context there, and design isn't just about how individual elements look.

Looks nice but the text gets harder and harder to see as you go to the right.
I haven't done much web design before and just started working on a project. I was worried about the UI for it, but I checked out Bootstrap and it looks perfect for the small webapp I'm making.
[QUOTE=benbb;42142833]Looks nice but the text gets harder and harder to see as you go to the right.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm not really sure what to do with the color of it.

I'd just go with one single color for the nav bar background but that's just my personal preference. Perhaps you could use a darker grey color to separate the nav blocks from eachother if you're going with the same background color.
It all depends on how you're going to design the rest of the pages though, like KmartSqrl said, you're not really showing that much to criticize.
I'm re making a shopping site because I have nothing else to do. Just for fun. Ignore the cats.

The red bar is the unfinished, unpopulated navigation bar.
This is the old site that I'm re-making:

you probably either want a back to top button or make the nav bar follow the person.

Looks beautiful. You could do with making the portfolio images clickable though.

Yeah, exactly like that.
Hm, seems my VPS can handle 10k concurrents with a 17% error rate - is that good?
Changed up the nav bar and added some more to the blank space.
