Dashboard Portfolios

The Basic Info tab holds the four fields almost every template uses somewhere near the top of your public page:

Type React, TypeScript, Figma into Skills and it's split on every comma, each piece trimmed of extra spaces, and empty pieces dropped — so trailing commas or double spaces never turn into blank skills on your page.

Save applies to all four fields together — there's one button at the bottom of the tab, and it reads "Saving…" while the request is in flight. Everything you fill in here loads back automatically the next time you open the tab, so there's nothing to re-enter after a refresh.

The Social & Media tab is the most mixed of the eight — some of it saves immediately, some of it waits for the Save button at the bottom. Knowing which is which saves a confused re-click:

On success, Save turns green with a checkmark and reads "Saved" for about two seconds before reverting to its normal label — a quick, unmistakable confirmation that the write went through.

The Experience tab, along with Projects and Education right after it, all share the same pattern: a list of entries, a "+ Add" button that opens a blank form, and clicking any existing entry loads it back into that same form for editing — there is no separate "edit" icon, the whole row is the click target except for its trash icon.

Each experience entry has:

• Company — required
• Position / Title — required
• Description — optional, what you did there
• Start date — required
• End date — disabled while "I currently work here" is checked
• "I currently work here" checkbox

Checking "I currently work here" doesn't just grey out the End date field visually — on save, the end date is forced to blank regardless of anything left sitting in that field, so a stale date typed in before checking the box is never sent. Each card in the list shows Position · Company with the date range underneath ("Present" for a current role).

The trash icon deletes an entry immediately — it disappears from the list at once and the delete request goes out in the background. If that request happens to fail, the only sign is a "Couldn't delete that entry." message; the row has already been removed from view either way, so a failed delete is rare enough not to worry about but worth knowing if you ever see that message.

The Projects tab follows the exact same add/click-to-edit/delete-immediately pattern as Experience. Each project has:

• Project title — the only required field
• Description — optional, what it does
• Live URL — optional
• GitHub URL — optional
• Technologies — optional, comma separated (parsed the same way as Skills in Basic Info)

A project card in the list shows its title, and — only if you listed any — its technologies underneath as a comma-joined line. A project with no technologies listed shows just the title, with nothing left blank or placeholder-shaped underneath it.

The Education tab is the third of the three add/click-to-edit/delete-immediately tabs. It asks for more required fields than Experience or Projects:

• Institution — required
• Degree — required (e.g. "Bachelor of Science")
• Field — required (e.g. "Computer Science")
• Start date — required
• End date — optional
• Notes — optional, free text

Unlike Experience, there's no "currently studying" checkbox here — you either fill in an end date, or you leave it blank. A blank end date simply displays as "Present" on the card, right next to Degree in Field and the institution name.

The Personal tab is really two separate panels stacked on top of each other, each with its own save behavior:

Proficiency is a fixed set of four levels — there's no free-text option:

• Mother Tongue
• Good
• Very Good
• Excellent

A language entry can't be saved without a name, same principle as everywhere else in this editor — proficiency always has a value already selected (Good, by default) so that part never blocks you.

The Publish tab controls whether your portfolio is visible to the public at kalhope.com/portfolio/<username>. Click through the demo below — it mirrors the real tab's two states exactly:

Once published, two more panels appear:

• Your live link — your public URL in a read-only field, a copy button (a checkmark confirms the copy for about 1.5 seconds), and a button that opens it in a new tab.
• Visitor Stats — total views, unique visitors, and (once you've had at least one) a "Last viewed" date. All three start at zero and only appear on this tab while published.

The first time you publish, KalHope stamps a permanent "first published" date behind the scenes. Unpublishing and republishing later never resets that date — it only records the very first time your portfolio went live, not the most recent time.

At the top of every tab in this editor, you'll also see quick links to your Spatial Portfolio — a separate, higher-end portfolio with its own editor, its own templates, and its own publish state, gated to Enterprise and Lifetime plans. Nothing on this page affects it, and nothing there affects this one; see that guide if that's the one you're looking for instead.
