The Problem

Developers know they need a portfolio but spend weekends building one that looks mediocre. They have no idea if recruiters actually look at it. Most portfolios are abandoned within months.

The Solution

Connect GitHub, auto-pull repos and contribution data, generate a polished portfolio with customizable themes. Add recruiter analytics (who viewed, from which company, how long) and AI-suggested project descriptions.

Executive Summary

Developers need portfolios but hate building them. Auto-generate from GitHub repos, add analytics to see which recruiters viewed your profile. Note: Polywork shut down Jan 2025 and Read.cv was acquired by Perplexity, leaving a gap in this market.
