Portfolio is a developer portfolio template built with Next.js 14 and Tailwind CSS, using Framer Motion for animations, designed to be deployed directly to GitHub Pages. It was created by Priyanka Sharma (lassiecoder) and is released under the MIT License, so it can be freely reused and customized.
What is this portfolio template?
This template is a single-page developer portfolio built on Next.js 14.1.4 with TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS 3.3.0, and animated with Framer Motion 11.0.25. It takes developer profile content — name, bio, projects, contact links — entered directly into React components and renders a responsive, animated portfolio page. The project also includes particle background effects via @tsparticles/react, toast notifications via sonner, and Google Analytics support via react-ga4.
Key Features
- Next.js 14 framework — React-based static generation with file-based routing, giving fast loads and SEO-friendly output.
- Tailwind CSS — Utility-first styling (version 3.3.0) that makes layout customization quick without writing custom CSS.
- Framer Motion animations — Smooth reveal and hover animations driven by Framer Motion 11.0.25.
- Particle background — Interactive particle effect using @tsparticles/react and the slim engine.
- Typewriter effect — A rotating headline effect via typewriter-effect for the hero section.
- Google Analytics — react-ga4 integration to track page views and user behavior.
- Toast notifications — sonner to show transient messages and feedback.
- GitHub Pages deployment — A deploy script using gh-pages plus GitHub Actions workflow support for one-command publishing.

How does this template work?
The template runs as a standard Next.js app. After cloning, install dependencies with npm install, then start development with npm run dev. For production, npm run build creates an optimized static export, and npm run deploy pushes it to GitHub Pages via gh-pages. The README instructs users to push changes to the master branch and monitor the GitHub Actions workflow for successful deployment.
