Thank you so much — seriously. Every coffee you have bought has gone straight back into APortfolio, and I want to make sure you know exactly what that means.
APortfolio is a free, open-source portfolio template built with Astro. The short version: it gives any developer — or honestly anyone with creative work to show — a fast, professional website with no hosting fees, no complicated setup, and no ongoing maintenance headaches. You get five pre-built pages, a filterable project grid, dark mode, a contact form that works without a backend, and performance scores that make PageSpeed inspectors happy. It ships with zero client-side JavaScript by default. The whole thing can be up and running in under two minutes for a non-technical user, or fully customized in an afternoon for someone who knows their way around a terminal.
I built this because I kept watching talented people — developers, designers, students — skip having a portfolio entirely because the barrier to entry felt too high. That felt wrong to fix. Your support is helping me fix it.
Here is what your coffees are funding right now: keeping the project maintained as Astro releases new versions, writing documentation that actually helps people (not just the ones who already know what they are doing), and building new features on the roadmap — more layout templates, a project-import helper, and an expanded component library so people have more ways to make the site their own.
If you have been on the fence about buying a coffee, this is me genuinely asking. It keeps the project going and it keeps me motivated to give it the attention it deserves. Buy me a coffee to help me keep going.
