One link for Social Bios: LinkinBios vs Bento like websites

January 24, 2025

I know we cant know about everything.

But the amount of close people that its trying to build something on social media, yet does not have a website still amazes me.

Why not giving a try to linktree, many.link… pricing?

Then, lets have a look to solutions that will just require your time:

SSG Solutions for LinkInBios

Hugo example and Lynx

We can use HUGO SSG together with the Lynx Theme and have a quick Linktree alternative.

You dont really need anything to get started, as we can make this work with Github Pages.

There is the possibility to use Bento Themes with Astro:

You can also have a look to:

  1. https://github.com/tim-hub/techtim-astro-bento-portfolio

I have forked this one here - https://github.com/JAlcocerT/techtim-astro-bento-portfolio

And you can use it by:

npm install

npm run dev
#npm run build

#rm -rf .git

Remember to tweak:

  1. All content from /public and /src/content as per the original theme License
  2. The index.astro file calls the individual components, like ../components/sections/AboutMe.astro
