Portfolio Next

Portfolio Next is a Next.js portfolio template bootstrapped with create-next-app, combining TypeScript, API routes, and Bootstrap styling for building a personal site that can be deployed on Vercel. It uses the pages router with a TypeScript entry point at pages/index.tsx and a sample API route at pages/api/hello.ts, which serves as a template for serverless functions.

What is Portfolio Next?

Portfolio Next is a Next.js project scaffolded with create-next-app, preconfigured for TypeScript and API routes. The template's core function is to give you a running Next.js site immediately: run npm run dev (or yarn dev) and open localhost:3000 to see the default page. Editing pages/index.tsx updates the UI with hot reload, and any file added to pages/api/ becomes an API route mapping to /api/*. According to the repository metadata, it is styled with Bootstrap and suits portfolio and Markdown-driven content.

Key Features

• Next.js pages router — The app uses the classic pages directory structure with pages/index.tsx as the homepage, supporting static generation and server-side rendering out of the box.
• TypeScript setup — The starter includes TypeScript files like pages/api/hello.ts, giving you compile-time checks from the start.
• API routes — The pages/api folder is mapped to /api/*; the existing endpoint at /api/hello returns a simple JSON response you can extend.
• Bootstrap styling — The template is built with Bootstrap (according to the template listing), providing a responsive grid and UI components.
• Markdown-friendly — The project supports Markdown content, which suits portfolios with blog posts or project descriptions.
• Vercel deployment — The README points to one-click deployment on the Vercel Platform, the creators of Next.js, and links to full deployment documentation.
• Development scripts — The standard npm run dev, npm run build, and npm run start scripts from create-next-app are included.

Who is it for?

• New developers — Anyone learning Next.js who wants a minimal, working skeleton with TypeScript and routing already configured.
• Portfolio owners — Freelancers, designers, and developers who need a clean, Bootstrap-based site to showcase their work and writing.
• API builders — Those who want a head start on serverless functions in Next.js, using the sample /api/hello route as a pattern.

What can you do with Portfolio Next?

• Personal portfolio: Customize pages/index.tsx to display your projects, bio, and contact links in a responsive layout.
• Markdown blog: Write posts in Markdown and wire them to a list page, using the existing project structure.
• Serverless API: Replace the body of pages/api/hello.ts with your own logic, such as form handling or data fetching, and deploy it as a Vercel function.

How does Portfolio Next work?

The template follows the standard create-next-app workflow: run npm run dev to start the development server, edit pages/index.tsx to change the homepage, and use pages/api for backend endpoints. When ready, deploy the same project to Vercel by connecting the repository and the platform automatically builds and serves it.
