I got laid off this month and have a lot of time on my hands while I’m looking for new jobs 😅
I tried making a LinkTree but the website UI for editing is so janky and frustrating, and on top of that you have to go Premium for advanced theming, again in the janky UI…
I found this great Hugo theme called Lynx and built out my own links webpage like we did back in 90s on Geocities with Dreamweaver
Some folks on Mastodon and Twitter messaged me asking for a walkthrough because there are a few rough edges that are mostly related to changes between Hugo versions and the docs on the theme, so I made this end-to-end video going from project init to deployment on Cloudflare pages with analytics enabled
It’s a pretty fun project and I think it can also be useful as a “portfolio links” page for people that are looking for jobs right now

This looks cool! It’s not packaged on nixpkgs yet so I might package it and then try to selfhost 👀
Will you be making a similar video for linkstack? If you do could you include a section for adding logo buttons like how linktree lets you have just a mastodon\instagram logo be a button on the top of the page
The real question is… how does Lynx render on Lynx - or Links for that matter.
The Author of Lynx template is really playing on thieir last name LOL
