As a developer, you want to spend your time coding applications, not maintaining your personal website. Slnk provides the perfect middle ground: highly technical customizability with zero maintenance.

The "Stack" Section

How do you show what you know?

  • Icons Grid: Use a 4-column Grid component.
  • Content: Upload SVG icons for React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python.
  • Style: Set the card style to glass or minimal to let the logos breathe.
  • Result: A clean, visual representation of your technical expertise that recruiters can scan in seconds.

Project Showcases

A list of GitHub links is boring. Make them pop.

  1. Hero Image: Take a screenshot of your app.
  2. Card Layout: Use a Card with the screenshot as the cover image.
  3. Dual CTAs: Use the ctaLayout: "horizontal" prop to offer two buttons:
    • Primary: "Live Demo" (Link to Vercel/Netlify)
    • Secondary: "View Code" (Link to GitHub Repo)

The "Status" Indicator

Use the Hero Status prop to signal your availability to recruiters.

  • 🟢 "Open to Offers": Recruiters know to DM you.
  • 🟡 "Building SaaS": Signals you are busy but active.

Stop over-engineering your personal site. Ship it on Slnk.
