Summary

Strapi has introduced a starter project designed for creatives such as developers, designers, and writers to easily build and maintain professional portfolios using the Strapi CMS. This initiative aims to simplify the process of showcasing work, enhancing personal branding, and facilitating feedback, particularly for freelancers and job seekers. The starter is built using Gridsome, a Vue.js framework for static websites, which offers a GraphQL data layer and a robust plugin ecosystem similar to Gatsby, ensuring fast website performance. Users can manage and update their portfolios without coding, directly through Strapi's admin interface. Additionally, the starter serves as an educational tool for learning Strapi's features like collection types and dynamic zones, as well as frontend technologies such as GraphQL and Tailwind CSS. Enthusiastically supported by the Strapi community and the expansion team, the project is part of broader efforts to grow the Strapi ecosystem through various initiatives like plugins and the Strapi Market.
