#32I see that this is early. It would be nice to have a screenshot and a description. Like other readers, I suggest adding some more info to the readme and/or a link to the website. The license is also missing (there's a link but it gives a 404).

#33Congrats on the launch, I think I'll try this out and consider it for self hosting.
If you want to connect with different segments, packaging this to make it available for things like yunohost (one click install) could be really valuable as more than a few ppl on tools like can have their own domains already setup.
I think the github landing page would remove a bunch of the questions below if you put screenshots of the steps and different kinds of outputs, and if it's really fun an animated gif that covers the entire experience in a few seconds (almost too fast).

#34The link-in-bio pages themselves break occasionally with WebGL disabled (MacOS/Safari/Lockdown Mode enabled).

#35I wouldn't assume people know what a link-in-bio is. I've never heard of it.

#36This is great! Really nice on the eyes and well organized. It did take me a while to figure out what to look for though - as others have mentioned. I had to find the actual link on the GitHub page then browse the homepage to understand what it was. When I saw it though, I really liked it.
I'd love to see this expanded to non-software engineers. Artists, for example, could also use this.
edit: I spoke too soon. I see that artists can use this as well. The icon gallery needs a couple more, like Soundcloud, but the basics are there for everyone. Great job!

#37Should we know what "link in bio" means? How is that a "personal dashboard"?
It comes across as like linktree but with some nicer features. Linktree+ on steroids.

#38Confusing title since "dashboard" appears nowhere on the page. Better description might be "An open-source dynamic link-in-bio" (AKA Linktree alternative)
> An open-source dynamic link-in-bio
FWIW, I understand what a "Dashboard" means, never heard of a "link-in-bio" before. From the website, it seems to be something like an "About" page? But dynamic I guess.

To me, "Dashboard" means something like "live visualizations for monitoring data that changes frequently".

#40The link to license is broken. It links to LICENSE.md instead of LICENSE
Thanks for noticing this. Just pushed up a fix!
