Gregory's ServerThe experience for an end user is pretty good. If you have used one, you are immediately familiar with the format. It feels like you are presenting the visitor with a menu of options. The creator can schedule when links show up and control the order to work well for new books, songs, products, etc. (2/3)

  @offby1 I’d love to buy a week or two of a designer’s time to build something that scales better design-wise. I have multiple dozens of GitHub Pages hosted projects, which work well, but that’s less than an idea for the average person. I thought about a SaaS app that lets someone bring their S3, Cloudflare, or whatever bucket but that’s also really technical for them. @webology You've nailed it; one of the biggest gaps in the “self-host it!" Philosophy is the massive hidden technical skill set required to do so well and safely. Self-hosting is _a_ solution, but it's out of reach of a lot of people. Worse, if you try to offer a platform (any *aaS variation) you may find yourself coerced into becoming the next tool of deplatforming when CC processors cut you off for supporting sex work. (in conclusion, the real problem is the prudery of Visa and Mastercard :) @webology Great ! I've been looking for something like this, I'll have a closer look |
I built my own Linktree clone (poorly, but it works) a few years ago and debated helping people host their own, but the few people I spoke with were largely happy with Linktree enough not to see why to use something more of a hassle to host themselves. 🤷
