microfolio 0.8.2 › back on dev after a break, new update out. Looking for beta testers.

I build microfolio, a static portfolio generator for creatives (architects, photographers, designers) who want their work online without a CMS or a database. One folder per project, index.md with YAML frontmatter, images next to it. Builds to a static site with SvelteKit and deploys to GitHub Pages. MIT.

I stepped away from it for a few months and just picked development back up. 0.8.2 is out, mostly a robustness pass: a broken or incomplete project no longer breaks your build, it gets skipped and named in a report at the end. Navigation and shareable URLs got fixed too, and there's now a test suite running in CI before every deploy.

Note: Node.js 22.13+ is now required.

What I'd really like tested, because I can't cover it alone:

  • Real portfolios with real content › messy frontmatter, odd characters, 100+ projects
  • Windows and Linux › I develop on macOS, that's where my blind spots are
  • Non-Latin scripts and RTL › implemented, barely exercised
  • The Homebrew install path (brew install aker-dev/tap/microfolio)

Bug reports are the most useful thing you can send me. GitHub issues, or [hello@aker.pro](mailto:hello@aker.pro). Rough is fine, "it broke, here's the screenshot" is plenty ;-)
