🔗 LittleLink-Server

This project is based on the great work from 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 and a live example at technotim.live.

🚀 Getting Started

Supported Links

Check the config file for all supported buttons!

Google Analytics Support

See Getting Started with Analytics. 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.

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

👇 What is LittleLink?

LittleLink is a lightweight DIY alternative to services like Linktree and many.link. LittleLink was built using Skeleton, a dead simple, responsive boilerplate—we just stripped out some additional code you wouldn't need and added in branded styles for popular services. 😊

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.

Using Skeleton 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.
