Linktree
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
One page holding every link you want to point people at from a social profile. You add links, pick a theme, and it gives you a short address to put in a bio.
Build me a link-in-bio page I own. STACK - Astro in static output on any static host - No database and no server: the page is generated from one file THE FILE - One YAML file: name, tagline, avatar, and a list of links with a label, a URL and an optional emoji or icon - An optional "live between" pair of dates per link, honoured at build time THE PAGE - One column, large tap targets, nothing below the fold on a phone but the footer - A token file for colour and type so a theme is six values, not a rewrite - Light and dark from prefers-color-scheme, both legible - Under 40KB total, no web font unless it is self-hosted and subset COUNTING, WITHOUT A TRACKER - Each outbound link goes through /go/:id, a static redirect page that logs to a serverless function and then leaves - Log the link id, the day and a coarse referrer only — no IP, no user agent, no cookie - A /stats page reading those counts, public, because there is nothing private in them FOUND BY SEARCH - Meta tags and an Open Graph image generated at build time from the same YAML Include a deploy command and a README on pointing a domain at it.
What you lose
- A page that is live thirty seconds after signing up, with no domain to buy or DNS to point
- Themes that look designed, without opening a stylesheet
- Click counts per link, and a scheduler that shows or hides a link on a date
- The linktr.ee address itself, which is already printed in bios, videos and business cards
If you would rather not build
- A single HTML file, which is genuinely enough here
- Bio.link or Bento, if you would rather not host anything

Why this verdict
our own opinion · changed only by a person
90/100
Verdict yes at 90: this is a list of links. The honest caveat is not the build, it is that the old address is already in circulation and a redirect from it is not something you control.
