Tips

A guide to getting the 100% out of Rico.

01. Is it free?

Yes, completely! Building pages and GitHub Pages deployment are both free. GitHub Pages offers plenty of free usage for personal portfolios. Plus, ending in github.io makes it look professional 😄

02. How do I edit my site after creating it?

Open your downloaded ZIP or GitHub repo and you'll find a config.json file. Click 'Import JSON' on the home screen to upload it, then you can edit and redeploy immediately.

03. Can I custom the colors?

Of course! After 'Download ZIP' or in your [username].github.io repo, open style.css. Just change the color values in the :root block at the top to update the whole theme.

04. What should I do if my page isn't updating?

First, check that the build has completed in your [username].github.io repository. If the deployment is done but the page still looks the same, try refreshing with Ctrl + Shift + R or Cmd + Shift + R.

05. Are there any copyright concerns?

No worries! Rico uses open-source libraries. Just keep the ...with Rico credit at the bottom.

06. Which language should I use for my homepage?

Most researchers in AI/CS build their sites in English. It helps you introduce yourself to anyone globally and opens up more international opportunities. If you're stuck, try asking an AI like Claude for translation help!
