Hey everyone! 👋 I spent the last couple of days engineering a minimal, premium dark-mode portfolio template for developers who want a high-end web presence (similar to the aesthetic of companies like Stripe or Linear) without spending weeks designing it from scratch. I wanted to push performance to the absolute limit, so I built it using the latest frontend stack. I'd love to get your feedback on the layout performance, the Framer Motion animation timings, or the Tailwind v4 compilation speeds. Let me know what you think in the comments below! If you have any questions about upgrading a project to Tailwind v4, drop them here and I'll help out.
