Empowering Creativity Without Complexity
microfolio’s development philosophy prioritizes simplicity and flexibility. Its static nature ensures fast load times and low hosting costs, ideal for creatives who want control over how their portfolio is presented without the overhead of complex systems. Whether you’re showcasing a handful of projects or a comprehensive portfolio, microfolio adapts seamlessly.
Experimenting with AI-Assisted Development
As part of its ongoing development, the microfolio project also serves as a testing ground for Claude Code, an AI tool aimed at enhancing code development workflows. This integration reflects the commitment to leveraging innovative technologies for continuous improvement.
