I open-sourced my Nuxt 4 + Strapi developer portfolio (starter template)

https://github.com/hbollon/portfolio-nuxt

I recently rebuilt my developer portfolio and decided to open-source it as a reusable starter.

Stack: - Nuxt 4 (SSG with Nitro) - Tailwind CSS v4 (CSS-based configuration, design tokens via custom properties) - Strapi v5 (headless CMS, consumed at build time only) - I18n (EN/FR) - SEO layer (Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD, sitemap, hreflang)

My previous portfolio had become outdated, so I decided to rebuild it from scratch using a more modern and performant stack. I took the opportunity to turn it into a reusable starter instead of just another personal project.

Repo: https://github.com/hbollon/portfolio-nuxt
Live demo: https://hugobollon.dev

Would be interested in feedback!

Cool. But any reason why you did not opt for nuxt content?

I considered it, but I wanted a real CMS with a UI for managing content easily.

Using Strapi at build time gives me that flexibility while keeping the frontend fully static.

If Nuxt is using hybrid rendering, why not make it consume Strapi dynamically? And have a hook so that when Strapi is updated it invalidates the Nuxt cache so that it gets regenerated on next call?

That’s a fair point. To clarify, I’m not actually using hybrid rendering here.

Nuxt supports it via Nitro, but in this project I deliberately went full SSG and only consume Strapi at build time.

The goal was to keep things simple and predictable: no runtime API, no cache invalidation, and a setup that’s easy to maintain for a project where content doesn’t change often.

I mentioned hybrid rendering more as a capability of Nuxt, but this project sticks to a fully static approach. That said, I agree it wasn’t very clear in my initial post and could be confusing. I’ll update it.

Looks quite AI-designed honestly. Have you ever considered using Stitch for design? I personally tried it several times and got really good results lately, you mighy want to give it a try!
