I built Scilio: a portfolio builder for researchers — would love your feedback

Hey IH 👋

I'm Florian, a solo developer. The problem I kept running into: Google Scholar has your papers and GitHub has your code, but there's no single link that shows who you are as a researcher — just a stale department profile you don't control.

Generic site builders aren't made for publications, and the code-based routes (al-folio, GitHub Pages) mean YAML, Git and ongoing maintenance most researchers don't want. So I built Scilio (https://scilio.app): you add your publications, projects, education/work history and bio like filling a form, pick from 18 themes, and go live at scilio.app/yourname — no code, no upkeep. Every published page also ships with proper SEO (structured data, social cards, sitemap) so your name becomes findable.

It's free to build and preview; publishing is €5/month. It's brand new, so I won't pretend thousands of researchers use it — you'd genuinely be among the first.

Two things I'd love feedback on:

1. If you're in research (or know someone who is): does a publication-first form — authors, journal, year, tags — match how you'd actually want to present your work?

2. Is €5/month to publish (free to build) the right call, or would a different model make more sense?

Happy to answer anything about the build (Next.js + Supabase + Stripe). Thanks for reading 🙏
