My Website
✨ My Website
A re-usable aggregated portfolio and blog site for developers
aliciasykes.com
Intro
This is my personal website. It's configurable, so feel free to use it, or any parts of it for yourself :)
About
A self-hosted developer homepage, to showcase your projects, posts, coding stats, and more.
Data is fetched from external sources (GitHub, RSS, social platforms...), so no need for a CMS.
Crafted with SvelteKit + TypeScript- prioritising SEO, performance, accessibility, and compatibility.
Contents
A tutorial, for how to build something similar is available on DEV.to
A mirror of this repository is available at codeberg.org/alicia/devolio
Pages
Portfolio Page - Displays projects from GitHub
The portfolio page displays the projects you've built. Data is fetched from your GitHub profile, with optional extra fields added in the config.
Each project can include: name, description, thumbnail, language, star/fork/issue count, license, size, date create/updated and links to the repo and project website. Featured projects can be made to span multiple cells, in order to display more info. When a thumbnail is present, the user can hover over the card to view full details. There's sorting and filtering options, useful if you've got a few hundred projects. Data is fetched dynamically from GitHub, but you can add or override any project data in the config file, as well as manually add more projects.
Blog Page - Displays articles from RSS
The blog page displays posts that you've published. Data is fetched and aggregated from one or more RSS feeds defined in the config. Post content is rendered as HTML, as well as metadata including author, date, link to original and optional thumbnail. The user can start typing to filter results, and use the keyboard to navigate posts.
Contact Page - Contact form, and social media summary
The contact page includes links to social profiles, a contact form, and space for GPG keys. Hover over the social media links, to show relevant user stats, like follower count, karma/ rep, join date and more. The contact form let's users write you a message, and include their name + mail address. Upon sending, the message will be emailed to you, using EmailJS. There's also space for including PGP key, and links to encrypted messenger apps.
About Page - Displays bio, work experience, tech stack
The about page has space for a short bio, profile image, work experience and tech stack.

Tech Stack
Built with Svelte, using SvelteKit (1.0.0) and written in TypeScript. The build system is Vite/ Rollup, with dependencies managed with PNPM. Standards implemented with ESLint and Prettier, with testing done using Vitest and Playwright. Styles are composed in SCSS with CSS variables for theming. There's an optional Dockerfile with a Deno web server.
Developing
# 1. Clone the repo and cd into it (update username if you've forked)
git clone git@github.com:Lissy93/devolio.git && cd devolio
# 2. Install dependencies
pnpm install
# 3. Start the development server
pnpm run dev -- --open
Deploying
Manual Deploy
- Fork the repo, then follow the steps above to clone and install dependencies
- Make any desired changes (see Configuring below)
- Push changes to your repository
- Enable the build action, to deploy to a service of your choice
You can also build the site yourself npm run build, then either run node build to start the server, or use an appropriate adapter for your target environment.
Quick Deploy
Use the 1-click deploy to get up and running in seconds.
Once you've got a fork of the repository, you can make changes to the config.ts (and any other files) to customize the site, and once commited, this will be reflected in your live version.
Docker Deploy
There's a multi-arch Dockerfile published on DockerHub under lissy93/devolio using this workflow
To run the container directly from DockerHub or GHCR, use: docker run -p 3000:80 lissy93/devolio
You'll likley want to make your own configuration file, use config.ts as a template, and pass it to the container with -v ./my-config.ts:/app/src/helpers/config.ts. To rebuild the app, or run any other commands, use docker exec -it [container-id] yarn build (where container ID can be found with docker ps).
Alternatively, use the docker-compose.yml as a template, and run docker compose up
Configuring
Basic Data
All site data is located in config.ts. Here you can specify site name, URLs to RSS feeds, GitHub username to fetch projects from, contact details, etc.
Secrets
Sensitive data, like API keys are set as environmental variables. These can either be set in the .env file, or in the admin panel for your hosting provider (e.g. for Netlify: Site settings --> Environmental Variables)
Accepted Values
GITHUB_TOKEN- A scoped API key for fetching repositories, and displaying social stats on the contact page. Optional, but you may experience rate limits if not specifiedTWITTER_TOKEN- Bearer token for showing follower count on the contact page.
Styles
Style values are managed with CSS variables, for easy configuration. These values are defined in the SCSS files within styles/. For more advanced theming, you can edit the content of the <style> blocks within individual routes and components.
Variables are split into the following files:
color-palette.scss- Colorsdimensions.scss- Sizesmedia-queries.scss- Breakpointstypography.scss- Fonts
Languages
The app is fully translatable, with all hard-coded copy located in locales. The users language can be detected automatically based on browser/ OS preference, or manually set using the dropdown in the UI. To add a new language, simply create a new file named by your locale's ISO code, populate the contents (use en as a template), then import it in app.
Currently, the following languages are supported:
- English (
en-GB)
More
If you'd like to configure anything else, then it should be pretty straight-forward by directly editing the specific routes or components. If you need any help with any of this, feel free to raise an issue :)
