Before you submit to DevPost

  • Devpost frames portfolios as something to put on a resume to showcase projects you've built.
  • Portfolios are public at devpost.com/username, and help docs cover hiding a profile from search engines.
  • Links out are nofollow, so the value is in hackathon and developer visibility, not link equity.
