Most of us working on side projects or building in public hit a weird friction point early on:
You want to share your work—maybe your GitHub, blog, product demo, or buy-me-a-coffee page but platforms like X, Instagram, or TikTok only give you one link.
Link-in-bio tools fix that, but most of them feel like they were built for lifestyle influencers, not indie devs or technical creators. They’re bloated, closed, or weirdly expensive.
So I decided to rethink how I handled mine and what I ended up using saved me from building a whole separate landing page.
What I wanted from a dev-friendly bio link setup
- Customizable but fast to set up
- Clean, no bloat
- Analytics I could actually use
- Multiple pages under one account (for personal vs project profiles)
- A way to share links across different audiences/platforms
- Ideally, open to tracking by device or country
Carrd was close, but still required design effort.
What I landed on: Linkx.ee
I found Linkx.ee while browsing some creator tool lists. It checked the right boxes from a dev perspective:
- No-code setup with the option to go deep if you want
- Fast page loading
- QR code generator (surprisingly useful at conferences or meetups)
- Device- and geo-based link targeting
- Works with webhooks and can plug into analytics pipelines
- You can run multiple profiles (great if you want to separate open source from paid projects)
It also gave me a clean public-facing page without needing to spin up a static site or configure a reverse proxy. For side projects, MVPs, or just linking from your GitHub profile, it’s kind of perfect.
If you’re a developer who doesn’t want to manage yet another frontend just to share links to your work, a solid link-in-bio tool is surprisingly useful. And if you’re like me someone who likes performance, metrics, and clean interfaces you might want to skip the mainstream stuff and give Linkx.ee a try.
Linktree and Koji felt too influencer-y.
