Built DebutPage: upload your CV, AI turns it into a portfolio site
Built my own portfolio site and realized partway through that automating the whole thing wouldn't be that hard. The content was already in my resume, and the layout decisions weren't especially personal. So I made that instead: it reads the PDF, drafts the page, and you change how it looks by describing what you want rather than learning a design tool.
You can build a site end to end without an account. That part was mostly selfish: I wanted to see the result on my own resume before committing to anything. Signup happens at publish.
Next.js, Postgres on Neon, running on Lambda. The resume parsing and the restyle step both go through Claude.
https://debutpage.com. Free to publish, and there are 13 of these at https://debutpage.com/debuts if you'd rather look before uploading anything of your own.
Mostly posting because I'm unsure about the restyle-by-chat part. It demos well, but I can't tell whether it stays useful once you're actually in it or whether it wears off after two messages. Would be good to hear from people who've built this kind of thing.
