# 🔗 LittleLink-Server

This project is based on the great work from [littlelink](https://github.com/sethcottle/littlelink)
It takes the same simple approach to a link page and hosts it within a NodeJS server with React Server Side Rendering, containerized for you to use. Now, customizing `LittleLink` with `littlelink-server` is as easy as passing in some environment variables.  If you need help configuring this, please see [this video that explains everything](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42SqfI_AjXU) and a live example at [technotim.live](https://technotim.live/).

# 🚀 Getting Started

## Supported Links
Check the [config](https://github.com/techno-tim/littlelink-server/blob/master/src/config.js) file for all supported buttons!

## Google Analytics Support

See [Getting Started with Analytics](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008015?hl=en).  After getting your GA Tracking Id, use your tracking Id as environment variable like `GA_TRACKING_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX`  (See the example below)

All buttons clicked will be tracked automatically if `GA_TRACKING_ID` exists.

Sample event for YouTube button.

javascript
```
  window.gtag('event', 'click', {
    event_category: 'social',
    event_label: 'youtube',
    value: 1,
  });
```

## Docker

They will both be updated during CI.

# 👇 What is LittleLink? 

![LittleLink](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/social-circle.png)

LittleLink is a lightweight DIY alternative to services like [Linktree](https://linktr.ee)
and [many.link](https://www.google.com). LittleLink was built using [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com/), a dead simple, responsive boilerplate—we just stripped out some additional code you wouldn't need and added in branded styles for popular services. 😊

![Themes](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/themes.png)

LittleLink has more than 20 company button styles you can use and we'll be throwing more in soon. You'll also find a light and dark theme ready to go. Not a fan of the colors? Update `skeleton-light.css` or `skeleton-dark.css` to the HEX values of your choosing. 

![Performance](https://cdn.cottle.cloud/littlelink/performance.png)

Using [Skeleton](http://getskeleton.com/) let us build something that loads quickly & doesn't have any of the unnecessary bloat you would get from using a large framework for a page that requires nothing more than simplicity. LittleLink scored a 99/100 in performance when tested with [Google Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse).
