Recently spent some time ramping up the side project: @linkbdotorg
Built this to solve my issue of wanting a linktree like page for myself but with short linking and analytics on it.
Its a Linktree alternative that combines features of Bitly.
Bonus, almost everything's free 😌
🚨🚨🚨
https://t.co/LEcKQ6HRwx services are DOWN. Database corrupt, unpaid intern @xprilion is working on it.
There's a fair chance the data recovery might fail (we've already tried this a few times).
If that happens, we'll have to go dark for a few days and revamp.
Just went live on @ProductHunt ! Do drop in an upvote if you find the tool useful!
Backgrounds by Linkborg: A free, keyless API for randomly generated abstract images.
https://t.co/MjXGeGbioS by @xprilion
When @unsplash briefly pulled the plug on their key-free API access to random images, folks using @linkbdotorg swarmed in the complaints.
Hence introducing a key-free API for fetching generated abstract art - https://t.co/n2c40wtBJ7
Playground here: https://t.co/LaSu103OAE
If you're looking for a free alternative to LinkTree (which I know many of you do), then do https://t.co/J1LEhEoO4X a try!
It's simple and no-nonsense. Made by the awesome @xprilion.
Here's mine: https://t.co/ugqgUDaT3n
If you notice our random cover backgrounds feature broken, it is due to Unsplash's updates.
We're working on a fix and will soon plug back in beautiful random backgrounds back on Linkborg!
What happened to Unsplash?...
They just removed their free non-API endpoint, and looking at the API guidelines, they don't allow automated usage (for example, Shortcuts) nor any kind of competition or wallpaper app.
Any better alternatives?

Yes to faster loading pages! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Also the last bug was fixed, apparently it came up due to shifting the data loading pattern. @xprilion is forgiven for pushing bugs to production.
Site creation is currently down because @xprilion broke the prod.
Meanwhile here’s a poem for you to enjoy while he fixes it:
Forsooth! Site creation hath hit a snag,
The intern to Goa, packs his bag.
Bear with us, good users, fear no lag,
Upon his return, he'll fix this snag.
If you’re using Linktree/alternative, I may have a deal you cannot refuse 🤓
Almost all of its premium features with none of its fee 👀

Fun day, intern @xprilion was made to work all day while I enjoyed 🏄♂️ surfing the web
Here’s what was done:
1️⃣ Added site favicons on links
2️⃣ Added a share button with QR code
3️⃣ Added option to change site layout
4️⃣ onboarded the 50th user in closed alpha 🥳
Details:
4️⃣ We’re 50% to our goal of first 100 users!
We’re still operating in closed alpha mode where things are being built and broken and fixed by the hour, but hey we’re now taking 50 people along in this roller coaster ride!
Welcome half centurion 🥳
Did you try powering it off and then turning it back on again, @awscloud?
Linkborg services are down while we wait for the minions at AWS to fix their services.
