Hey everyone,
I’ve been building Craftfolio, a tool for creating developer portfolios and resumes.
I started it mainly as a way to push myself beyond smaller coding projects and build something that could actually be useful to other developers.
Some of the things I’ve built into it include live previews, importing content, different portfolio styles, HTML export, and PDF printing.
I’m still working on it, and I’m particularly interested in feedback on the UI, overall experience, and what you think I should improve or remove.
What would you change if you were building this?
Thanks!

On the PDF printing side, the failure mode is rarely the layout itself — it's fonts and pagination. A printed CV that splits one job entry across two page boundaries loses the reader instantly, so it's worth deciding on purpose: either force breaks at entry boundaries, or render a fixed-height page and accept the leftover white space. Browsers print differently from what the preview shows, so testing with an A4 that has three long entries is the ugliest and most useful check you can run.
On the product question: how much structure do you impose on a user's content — is one work-history list enough, or do you already see people wanting to separate side projects from employment? Tools like this converge on a single timeline early, and the users juggling both are exactly the ones who churn. Good call asking for specific critique instead of applause.
