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.
What Makes a Developer-Friendly Bio Link Tool?
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.
