What is ShellScholars?
ShellScholars is a portfolio builder built around one idea: proof of work, not proof of posting. Instead of a static PDF resume or a LinkedIn profile you don't fully control, you get a single link, your shell, assembled from drag-and-drop blocks such as banners, project cards, timelines, metrics, and testimonials.
Every block carries its own visibility setting. That means one link can serve three audiences at once: the public version anyone can see, a private layer only your approved connections unlock, and a hidden layer that never leaves your editor. No more choosing between "share everything" and "share nothing."
