Personal website
A standalone personal website generated from your Sifa profile, styled like academicpages.github.io. Self-hostable.
Sifa ID's profile data doubles as a standalone personal website. This page covers the features built for that.
Personal website
Every Sifa profile has a second, standalone view at sifa.id/p/{handle}/site, styled after academicpages.github.io: a top masthead, a left sidebar with your identity and links, a print-friendly layout, and a dark mode toggle. It looks like your own personal site, not a social profile.
The content comes from the same profile sections you already fill in on Sifa: About, Positions, Education, Publications, and so on. There's no separate data entry for the personal website. Update your profile once, and both views reflect it.
Self-hosting your own copy
The renderer that generates this page is a standalone open-source package, @singi-labs/academicpages-renderer. If you want your personal website on your own domain instead of sifa.id, with your own branding, clone sifa-academicpages: a small static-site scaffold that pulls your profile from Sifa's public API and builds the same layout, deployable to GitHub Pages or any static host.
Your profile data still lives on your PDS either way. Self-hosting the page changes where the HTML is served from, not who owns the underlying records.
Want to go deeper
- External accounts: link GitHub, LinkedIn, and other platforms to your profile.
- Your data on a provider: what a profile record looks like on your PDS.
External accounts
Link your blog, GitHub, ORCID, and other profiles to Sifa so the work you publish elsewhere shows up on your professional page. Auto-discovers RSS feeds.
Companies and organizations
Link the organizations on your profile to a shared company page on Sifa, add one that isn't listed yet, and suggest a name correction when the details are off.
