# All your side projects, on one page

> A side project portfolio: every side project on one page with a screenshot, status and its own write-up. Live, paused or retired. Free for five projects.

The weekend app, the abandoned SaaS, the Chrome extension 200 people use. Show every side project with a screenshot, an honest status and a story, at one link.

## Side projects are scattered by default

A side project usually lives in three places: a repo, a domain you keep renewing and a post you made the week you shipped it. Six months later, someone asks "what have you built?" and the honest answer is a list of links you have to dig up.

makerhandle puts them in one place. Paste links to what you built and the [instant page](https://makerhandle.com/features/instant-page) fills in names, icons and descriptions, or pull them from your repos with the [GitHub import](https://makerhandle.com/features/github-import). Then each one is a card with a screenshot, tags and a link.

## Honest status beats a graveyard

Most side projects do not become businesses, and that is fine. What looks odd is a list of dead links. Give each project a [status](https://makerhandle.com/features/project-status): **Active**, **Building**, **On hold**, **Acquired** or **Discontinued**. A retired project with a short note on what you learned is still proof you ship.

It saves you replies too: nobody has to ask whether that old tool still works.

## A story for the ones that matter

Every project opens its own [project page](https://makerhandle.com/features/project-pages): what it does, why you built it, the stack, screenshots, a short video and what happened. That is the part that turns a side project into something an employer, a co-founder or a customer remembers.

You do not need to write one for every project. Pick the two or three you would talk about in an interview, and leave the rest as cards.

## Where people find it

Put the link in your X, GitHub, LinkedIn and Reddit profiles, and in the post when you [launch a side project](https://makerhandle.com/blog/where-to-launch-your-side-project). [Analytics](https://makerhandle.com/features/analytics) show which project people click and where they came from, without cookies.

Free covers five projects, three templates and seven days of analytics. Pro is **$20 a year** for unlimited projects, all nine templates and your own domain. See [pricing](https://makerhandle.com/pricing).

## Questions

### Where can I showcase my side projects?

Launch them on communities like r/SideProject, Show HN and Product Hunt, then keep them all on one page you own, such as a makerhandle page, so the link in your bio always shows the full list.

### Should I list side projects I abandoned?

Yes, if they show something. Mark them Discontinued or On hold and add a line on what you learned. Hide the rest.

### Can I import my side projects?

Yes. Paste up to ten links for the instant page, or import public repos from GitHub.

### Is it free?

Yes, for up to five projects. Pro is $20 a year for unlimited projects.
