LinkFree - simple linktree alternative

LinkFree

I stumbled upon this self-hosted linktree alternative.

It’s the simplest project ever, but that’s exactly what I like about it. I think it’s good for people who have a domain but don’t want to bother making a website.

Unfortunately, you have to edit the HTML to use it.

I’m thinking about making a form that generates something like this to make it accessible to people like my parents.

I’m definitely a fan of keeping it simple

I made a very basic customizer:
https://linkfree.chriskthomas.com/

You can view the resultant page if you click the preview checkbox. Otherwise, it downloads the page as a single html file. To make that work, the image is embedded as a data url.

It worked for me. You probably want to add Twitter, maybe also Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube?

I did it. It has icons now too.

The customizer doesn’t look terrible anymore.

Looking good! Would be good to be able to add custom links :smiley:

I would have made them all custom if not for the icons. I think it makes sense to add custom fields without icons.

The backend already supports it. I just need to write some code to add more fields.

I finally got around to making a GitHub account and posting it:

Bonus, it is currently hosted on OVH’s free 10mb hosting plan :slight_smile:

It’s now sponsored by DigitalOcean and has 34 themes. We’ve come a long way!

I finally got around to adding an option to download the index.html in an archive. That should make it a lot easier to deploy in one step to services like Cloudflare pages and vercel.
