Knot Floer homology is a useful invariant of knots whose graded Euler characteristic recovers the Alexander polynomial. Some other objects which can recover the Alexander polynomial are the Seifert form and the Alexander module. We will discuss how the bordered Floer homology of the complement of a Seifert surface for a knot in the three-sphere can be seen as a common refinement of all of these invariants. No familiarity with Floer homology will be assumed.
