Why Every Developer Should Have a Bio Link Page (and How I Built Mine with Linko.ee)

As developers, we often spend time building side projects, publishing code, writing tutorials, or launching tools, but many of us still leave our online presence scattered across different platforms.

One link in a X bio. Another in a GitHub README. Maybe a portfolio that hasn’t been updated since 2019.

What if there was a better way to unify your online footprint?

That’s where bio link pages come in and after trying a few, I landed on Linko.ee, which gave me exactly what I needed with no bloat.

Why Developers Need a Central Bio Page

We’re not influencers, but we are creators.

A good bio link can help you:

  • Share multiple projects without cluttering your profiles

  • Link to articles, GitHub, portfolio, or even your open-source sponsorships

  • Control your brand from one URL

  • Add analytics to understand where your audience comes from

If you’ve ever posted a link tree of your own in a tweet, bio, or project launch—you’re already halfway there.

Most link-in-bio platforms are designed for creators, not developers. They focus on social links, shopping, or Instagram embeds.

I needed something that could:

  • Handle custom URLs and slugs

  • Be clean, fast, and responsive

  • Let me organize links the way I wanted (not locked in a template)

  • Track link clicks without extra JavaScript or heavy analytics

Why I Chose Linko.ee

Linko.ee is a tool built with creators and tech-savvy users in mind. What I liked:

  • Clean interface, fast load times

  • Ability to create multiple public profiles (one for each project)

  • Analytics included by default (no extra setup)

  • Custom slugs and QR codes

  • No unnecessary branding on free pages

It’s simple, flexible, and actually useful—whether you’re a solo dev, indie hacker, or someone juggling multiple roles online.

My Setup

Here’s how I use it:

  • linko.ee/myname → links to:

    • My GitHub

    • Blog

    • Featured side project

    • Sponsorship or “Buy Me a Coffee” link

    • Newsletter or Substack

I keep the design minimal, and I update the links as I launch new things.

Whether you're freelancing, applying for jobs, or just active in open source a well-structured link-in-bio page can do more for your discoverability than you think.

It’s not just about showing off it’s about helping people find your work, quickly.

If you’re curious, you can build yours in a few minutes at Linko.ee. No upsells, no clutter just one smart link that works.
