As a developer, your portfolio is more than just a resume - it's a showcase of your technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. FastFolio is specifically designed with developers in mind, offering features that make your code shine.
The Developer's Dilemma#
Let's be honest - most developers face these challenges:
- Time constraints - You'd rather be coding than designing
- Design skills - Backend developers aren't always CSS wizards
- Maintenance burden - Who wants to update HTML files manually?
- Performance concerns - Your portfolio should be as fast as your code
- SEO knowledge - Getting discovered requires more than good code
FastFolio solves all these problems and more.
Features Built for Developers#
1. GitHub Integration#
Connect your GitHub account and automatically showcase your best repositories:
interface GitHubRepo {
name: string;
description: string;
language: string;
stars: number;
forks: number;
url: string;
}
// FastFolio automatically fetches and displays your repos
const featuredRepos = await fastfolio.github.getFeaturedRepos({
username: 'yourUsername',
sortBy: 'stars',
limit: 6,
});
Your repositories are displayed with:
- Language badges
- Star and fork counts
- Last commit date
- Live preview links
- Contribution graphs
2. Code Syntax Highlighting#
Show off your code with beautiful syntax highlighting powered by Prism.js:
# FastFolio renders your code beautifully
def fibonacci(n):
"""Generate Fibonacci sequence up to n terms"""
if n <= 0:
return []
elif n == 1:
return [0]
elif n == 2:
return [0, 1]
fib_sequence = [0, 1]
for i in range(2, n):
next_num = fib_sequence[-1] + fib_sequence[-2]
fib_sequence.append(next_num)
return fib_sequence
# Example usage
print(fibonacci(10))
# Output: [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
3. Tech Stack Visualization#
Display your skills with interactive tech stack cards:
- Frontend: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte
- Backend: Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD
- Tools: Git, VSCode, Webpack, Jest
Each technology can link to relevant projects where you've used it.
