Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Indraneel — architect by day, and I rebuild my portfolio far too often.
Two things pushed me to make this. First, every portfolio template makes you fight a framework just to change your name. Second (and this is the real one), when I pointed a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor) at those templates and said "make this mine," it burned tokens crawling components and still got things wrong. The template wasn't the problem; the repo shape was.
So I built launchfolio for the agent as the primary user (and it turns out that makes it lovely for humans too). It's not "AI magic", there are no model calls in the repo. It's just a repo shaped so an agent is cheap and reliable:
- One file to edit: all content lives in config/site.config.js. An AGENTS.md tells the agent to never touch the renderer.
- A contract: a JSON schema + inlined enums, so the agent doesn't grep the code to learn valid values.
- A deterministic loop: npm run check returns precise errors and a to-do list of leftover placeholders. No browser, no guessing.
So you can literally say: "Read AGENTS.md, set up my portfolio from my résumé, run npm run check until it's clean, and show me a preview." One prompt.
Under the hood it's a plain static site — no framework, no build, zero dependencies — with toggleable sections, auto-pulled writing (Medium/Substack/RSS), a project roadmap that syncs live from GitHub Milestones, and one-command deploys to GitHub Pages / Azure / AWS. MIT.

I'd genuinely love feedback on the AGENTS.md conventions and the config schema — does the one-file + validator design actually make your agent cheaper and more reliable? And which content sources should I add next (Hashnode, Bluesky, Mastodon are on the roadmap)? I'll be here all day. 🙏

Would love to see a dark mode toggle baked into the config, maybe something like a single theme setting with a few presets to pick from. Right now I imagine anyone customizing it would have to dig into CSS to get that right, which kind of defeats the whole one-file simplicity.

@tahaargonsaud Dark mode is already in works. But to do any style change you don't really need to go to css. It is part of the config file. (Look for theme section). You can even simply tell your agent something like "Change the theme to a warm, minimal look — cream background, one deep-orange accent, a serif display font. Update config/site.config.js and run `npm run check`." More example prompts are inside docs folder.

💡 Bright idea
Would love a built-in analytics module that tracks profile visits and click-through rates to your connected content sources. Right now you ship a beautiful portfolio but have no real way to know if it's actually driving traffic to your Medium or Substack, which feels like a miss given how central those links are to the whole point of the site.

@cakelanur97361 That is a great suggestion. I will add it to the roadmap.

Have been looking for something like this for ages. One thing that would make it way more useful for me is built-in support for custom domains with HTTPS out of the box, especially on GitHub Pages which can be finicky with redirects and apex domains. That alone would save a ton of config headaches for non-technical folks.
A custom domain setup walkthrough would be super helpful, especially for GitHub Pages users. Even a short README section on updating DNS records and the CNAME file could save a lot of trial and error for folks deploying this for the first time.
edited the config file and pulled in my medium feed in a few minutes, no build step is such a relief. wish the theme options were a bit deeper though.

@azad1241997 Thank you for trying it out. The theme options are on roadmap. :)

honestly this is pretty clever, the no build step thing is what got me. pulled my medium feed in just by editing one config file and it just worked, kind of wish more portfolio setups felt this painless
