Code Comparison

portfolio-responsive-complete:

<header class="l-header">
    <nav class="nav bd-grid">
        <div>
            <a href="#" class="nav__logo">Marlon</a>
        </div>
        <!-- More navigation items -->
    </nav>
</header>

project_3D_developer_portfolio:

const Navbar = () => {
  return (
    <nav className='sm:px-16 px-6 w-full flex items-center py-5 fixed top-0 z-20 bg-primary'>
      <div className='w-full flex justify-between items-center max-w-7xl mx-auto'>
        <Link to='/' className='flex items-center gap-2'>
          {/* Logo and navigation items */}
        </Link>
      </div>
    </nav>
  )
}

The code comparison shows that project_3D_developer_portfolio uses React components and modern CSS frameworks like Tailwind, while portfolio-responsive-complete uses traditional HTML and CSS classes.

Pros of v4

• More sophisticated and modern design aesthetic
• Utilizes React and Gatsby for improved performance and SEO
• Includes a dark mode feature

Cons of v4

const StyledHeader = styled.header`
  ${({ theme }) => theme.mixins.flexBetween};
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 11;
  padding: 0px 50px;
  width: 100%;
  height: var(--nav-height);
  background-color: var(--navy);
  filter: none !important;
  pointer-events: auto !important;
  user-select: auto !important;
  backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
  transition: var(--transition);
`;

portfolio-responsive-complete:

.header {
  width: 100%;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: var(--z-fixed);
  background-color: var(--body-color);
}

The v4 project uses styled-components for more dynamic styling, while portfolio-responsive-complete uses traditional CSS. v4's header is positioned at the top with a blur effect, whereas portfolio-responsive-complete places the header at the bottom of the page.

Pros of Portfolio

• Includes a blog section, providing additional content and value
• Features a projects showcase with filtering capabilities

Cons of Portfolio

• More complex setup and deployment process due to React framework
• Potentially slower initial load times compared to static HTML/CSS
• Requires more maintenance and updates for dependencies

Code Comparison

Portfolio (React):

import React from "react";
import { Container, Row, Col } from "react-bootstrap";
import ProjectCard from "./ProjectCards";
import Particle from "../Particle";

portfolio-responsive-complete (HTML/CSS/JS):

<header class="l-header">
    <nav class="nav bd-grid">
        <div>
            <a href="#" class="nav__logo">Marlon</a>
        </div>

The Portfolio repository uses React components and Bootstrap for styling, while portfolio-responsive-complete relies on vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This difference in approach affects the overall structure and complexity of the codebase, with Portfolio offering more modularity and reusability at the cost of increased complexity.

Pros of simplefolio

• More customizable with a configuration file for easy personalization
• Includes a dark mode feature for better user experience
• Offers a built-in contact form functionality

Cons of simplefolio

• Less responsive design compared to portfolio-responsive-complete
• Fewer animation effects and visual enhancements
• Limited social media integration options

Code Comparison

simplefolio:

const contact = {
  email: 'example@email.com',
};

export { contact };

portfolio-responsive-complete:

const navMenu = document.getElementById('nav-menu'),
      navToggle = document.getElementById('nav-toggle'),
      navClose = document.getElementById('nav-close')

if(navToggle){
    navToggle.addEventListener('click', () =>{
        navMenu.classList.add('show-menu')
    })
}

The simplefolio example shows a simple configuration approach, while portfolio-responsive-complete demonstrates more direct DOM manipulation for responsive design.

Both repositories offer valuable features for creating portfolio websites, with simplefolio focusing on easy customization and portfolio-responsive-complete emphasizing responsive design and animations. The choice between them depends on specific project requirements and personal preferences.

• Limited to timeline functionality, less versatile for full portfolio websites
• Requires React knowledge, potentially steeper learning curve for beginners
• Less comprehensive documentation compared to portfolio-responsive-complete

Code Comparison

react-vertical-timeline:

import { VerticalTimeline, VerticalTimelineElement } from 'react-vertical-timeline-component';

<VerticalTimeline>
  <VerticalTimelineElement
    className="vertical-timeline-element--work"
    date="2011 - present"
    iconStyle={{ background: 'rgb(33, 150, 243)', color: '#fff' }}
