🚀 Overview

Profile.me is a self-hosted SaaS script that lets creators, professionals, agencies, and recruiters design
modern personal sites and sharable vCards in minutes. Users pick a theme, add sections (About, Experience, Skills,
Portfolio, Testimonials, Contact), and publish to a subdomain or custom domain with a scannable QR code.

Experience-driven design: modeled after real hiring and networking flows — one-page resumes, quick share links, mobile-first vCards, and PDF exports — so candidates can showcase work instantly without a heavy CMS.
