To clarify: github already has github.io for user pages but I think you can do much more with even less effort! If anyone from github / gitlab / bitbucket/ ???

To clarify: github already has github.io for user pages but I think you can do much more with even less effort!
If anyone from github / gitlab / bitbucket/ ??? is reading this please consider this simple way of making your site more awesome:
1. Let some special repo name (e.g. me, aboutme, cv) have a special meaning.
2. If a user has this special repo make it his front page or at least link to it from hist front page.
3. If the repo has a README.md or README.rst or READM.org make it his landing page for that repo (github and bitbucket already do this).
So next time I am curious about Joe Developer I know I will find him not on linkedin but on gitlab.com/joedeveloper/cv
