Hello everyone! The idea of LinkWall ( https://linkwall.me ) came when one of my friends asked me to build a social media aggregator for his webpage. I often have to check multiple social accounts of the same person to keep updated on its latest posts. Therefore, I decided to build a platform where people create their webpage, add links to their favourite content, and stream their social activity automatically. You c…

Is it only for my content? Can I show retweets/reblogs/interesting articles I run across? I'd love to see a custom domain option so I can use it as a personal blog itself.

For now, you can show only your tweets automatically. I plan to add custom posts as widgets soon.

Also, if you feel stuck, please let me help you customize your webpage (live chat, comment on HN, email at atatomir@linkwall.me). I want to learn from your interaction with the website and build what you need. Thank your for your time!

> I want to learn from your interaction with the website and build what you need. The first thing I looked for was an example of what it looks like, and one of the first things I found was a button that let me look at exactly that. Very nice! Beyond that, I can only echo what someone else already said, that it looks nice and polished. I did not create an account myself, as I presently am not in the need of collecting…

Thank you for your feedback!

This product should and will be free forever. However, for professionals wanting to customize their page more, removing the LinkWall branding and streaming from multiple accounts, there will be a small monthly fee. In the meanwhile, all available features will be accessible at no cost.

Your question about copying is really interesting, and not limited to thi particular product. Do you think that it should be forbidden in some way or that it is a normal evolution for giants as Instagram, Youtube, TikTok?

Good idea. What are your ideas for how to handle other social network link sites? For example, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn?

You can add social links right now with your custom icon, text and link (in the custom social icons section). Regarding automatic streaming, I plan to add Facebook and Instagram first, then continue with other social platforms. Someone suggested Medium so I will have a look at their API.

Does this fetch it all clientside from the different services, or does it actually mirror the content from corporate censorship social/ad networks to one's own website? That is to say: does it keep your content up on your own site as a mirror when the big five suspend your account for wrongthink or an errant nipple?

All the content is stored in a database separate from the social platform. It is fetched and updated periodically. You can choose what content to hide (by default, all non-public/suspended content is not displayed).

Looks good for a LinkTree clone. Could you tell me why I should switch to your service? Do you have a feature comparison with the incumbent? https://linktr.ee/

Thanks for your question. As this is not a full service right now, there are still a few features to add to match the entire set of LinkTree's options. That main advantage in using LinkWall compared to alternatives is the automatic fetching of your content. Your followers need to visit only one page to see your latests posts, and then browse on those social platforms.
