This release establishes a solid foundation for developers who want a clean, extensible, and well-documented portfolio they can confidently build on and deploy.

✨ What Devfolio Is

Devfolio is a modern portfolio template designed for developers who care about:

• Clear project presentation
• Content-driven blogs using MDX
• Maintainable structure and customization
• Real-world Next.js patterns using the App Router

It is intended to be used, customized, and extended, not just cloned and forgotten.

👤 Who This Is For

Devfolio is ideal for:

• Developers building a personal portfolio
• Students preparing for internships or full-time roles
• Engineers who want a strong starting point without fighting boilerplate
• Anyone who wants to showcase projects and technical writing in one place

No deep Next.js internals knowledge is required to get started.

🔮 What’s Coming Next

The following improvements are planned for upcoming minor releases:

• Configurable featured project and blog counts
• Expandable project and blog descriptions
• Additional portfolio sections
• UX refinements and layout polish
• Performance and accessibility improvements

All future changes will follow semantic versioning to ensure stability and predictable upgrades.

🧩 Versioning & Stability

Devfolio follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer):

• Patch releases focus on bug fixes and polish

v1.0.0 signals that the template is safe to adopt and build upon.
