About microfolio

Who makes microfolio, what it believes, and how it got to 1.0 "Bauhaus".

What this site is

This site is the live demonstration of microfolio. Everything on it — the cards, the filterable list, the world map, the lightbox reading camera metadata out of the images — was built by the generator from a folder of Markdown files. The projects are the Bauhaus collection: thirty-one fictional works of architecture, design and art, written and drawn for the occasion, as a nod to the school that gave version 1.0 its code name.

Made by AKER

microfolio is designed and built by AKER, a French studio working where design meets code. It exists because portfolios kept ending up in tools that outgrew, outpriced or outlived the people using them — and because a body of work deserves better than a subscription.

What it believes

Form follows content. A portfolio site has one job: put the work first and get out of the way.

  • A portfolio should outlive the tools that made it. Plain files do.
  • Simplicity is a feature. One config file, one folder per project.
  • Sobriety is respect — for your visitors' attention, their privacy, and the energy a page burns.

From 0.1 to 1.0

microfolio started in the summer of 2025 as a small tool in the hands of a group of beta testers — creatives who were promised nothing and reported everything. Eighteen releases later, their bug reports, confusions and ideas have become version 1.0 Bauhaus. To all of them: thank you.

The 1.0 is a beginning, not a museum piece.
