Question 1

What is archiv.cc?

Accepted Answer

archiv.cc is a bento-grid portfolio builder for researchers, engineers, and business professionals. It lets you create a modular proof-of-work portfolio at archiv.cc/u/[username] with blocks for GitHub heatmaps, PDFs, case studies, job history, and more.

Question 2

Is archiv.cc free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. archiv.cc has a free Standard tier with unlimited standard blocks, basic analytics, and a standard archiv.cc/u/username URL — free forever. A Founding Member lifetime license is available for a one-time €50 payment (limited to 500 seats), unlocking custom domains, GitHub heatmap blocks, PDF viewer, and lifetime analytics.

Question 3

What is a bento portfolio?

Accepted Answer

A bento portfolio is a modular grid layout — inspired by Japanese bento boxes — where each block of content occupies its own visual cell. archiv.cc uses a bento-grid to present proof-of-work: GitHub activity, papers, case studies, and career history in a scannable, high-density format that is better suited to serious professionals than a standard single-column profile.

Question 4

Who is archiv.cc for?

Accepted Answer

archiv.cc is designed for three high-value professional cohorts: academic researchers who need publication-ready structure with PDF and citation blocks; software engineers who want to surface live GitHub contributions and technical projects; and business professionals who need trust narratives tied to measurable outcomes and career momentum.

Question 5

Does archiv.cc support custom domains?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Founding Members can connect their own domain (e.g. john.me) to their archiv.cc portfolio. The custom domain stays in the browser address bar via a server-side rewrite — visitors never see the archiv.cc URL.

Question 6

How is archiv.cc different from other portfolio builders like Linktree or Bento.me?

Accepted Answer

archiv.cc is proof-of-work first, not link-in-bio. Instead of listing links, it embeds live GitHub contribution data, renders academic PDFs inline, and surfaces measurable outcomes. It targets professionals who need credibility signals rather than social media aggregation.
