Site Overview

reinaldo.pt is the personal portfolio website of senior front-end software engineer Reinaldo Simões. The site hosts multiple practical development projects the author has completed in recent years, divided into three categories: AI tools, daily practical applications, and open-source development components. Every project comes with a detailed technical post-mortem. It serves not only as a showcase of the author's skills, but also as a collection of ready-to-use online tools.

Core Projects & Features

The site features three representative core projects:

1. AI Photo Critique: Built on GPT-4o Vision and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology, this tool generates structured, actionable critique feedback for user-uploaded photography by pulling from a professional photography knowledge base.
2. WeatherToRun: A weather decision-making tool for running enthusiasts. It integrates multiple meteorological metrics including temperature, wind, and dew point, builds a scoring model based on sports science research, directly outputs a conclusion on whether conditions are suitable for running, supports personalized clothing recommendations, and has full PWA offline adaptation.
3. Processing Storyboard: An open-source React component that converts complex API workflows into visual, interactive animated step panels, making it easier for developers to debug and demonstrate processes to non-technical stakeholders.

Pros, Cons & Suitable Use Cases

Overall, the biggest value of this site lies in the actionable, high-quality insight from its project workflows: every project starts from a real pain point, and walks through architecture selection, encountered issues, and optimization solutions in detail. It is an extremely valuable learning reference for full-stack developers, especially front-end developers. All projects are free to use, and some are open-source for secondary development. However, as a personal site, it has no commercial backing. There is no guarantee for feature iteration or issue response, and it does not support a Chinese interface.

Accessibility from China

The site is deployed on the overseas Vercel platform, so it cannot be accessed directly from mainland China. A proxy via a VPN tool is required to open and use it normally.

This site is perfect for front-end developers to learn practical project implementation ideas, for photography enthusiasts to get free AI photo critique, and for running enthusiasts to use the weather planning tool.
