wtf is launchfolio?

Launchfolio is a personal portfolio website template designed to be set up mostly by an AI coding agent rather than by hand editing lots of files. All of the content, such as your name, sections, theme colors, and links, lives in a single configuration file, and the rest of the site, roughly 500 lines of plain JavaScript with no framework or build step, renders itself from that one file. The idea is that you clone the template, open it in a tool like Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot, and ask it to fill in the configuration from your resume or LinkedIn export, since the project ships an AGENTS.md file specifically written to guide that process. Beyond the basic identity and theme settings, the template can automatically pull your writing from Medium, Substack, dev.to, or any RSS feed, either through a manual command or a scheduled weekly GitHub Action, and you can add posts by hand as well. A featured project section can sync its roadmap directly from a public GitHub repository's milestones. There is also optional, privacy friendly analytics that tracks page views and outbound link clicks without cookies, off by default, supporting services like Plausible or Umami. A validation script called npm run check reviews your configuration file for errors and lists any placeholder text you still need to replace, which is meant to let an AI agent fix problems on its own without opening a browser to check. Once configured, the site can be previewed locally with Node or Python, and deployed with one command to GitHub Pages, Azure App Service, or AWS S3 with CloudFront. Viewing or deploying the finished site needs nothing more than a static file host, though running the writing fetcher or local dev server requires Node 18 or newer, or Python 3. The project is released under the MIT license.
