LinkStack
A highly customizable, self-hosted, and open-source Linktree alternative for sharing all your important links.
Overview
LinkStack is an open-source, self-hosted platform designed to be a powerful and flexible alternative to popular link-in-bio services like Linktree. It allows users to create a single, customizable page where they can list all their important links, such as social media profiles, websites, portfolios, and more. The core value proposition of LinkStack lies in its emphasis on user control, privacy, and extensive customization options, moving away from proprietary solutions.
The tool is built to be feature-rich, offering capabilities like analytics, support for multiple users or single-user modes, and even a 'no database' option for simpler setups. Users can choose to self-host LinkStack on their own servers using methods like Docker, or utilize community-hosted instances. This flexibility ensures that individuals and organizations can tailor their link-sharing experience to their specific needs, maintaining ownership of their data and brand identity.
