What is LinkFree?

A platform where people in tech can have a single hub to showcase their content in order to accelerate their career, whilst contributing to an Open Source project and being part of a community that has a say in where the project is going.

Your profile will have links to your social media and content. You can also add your timeline, testimonials, and upcoming events that you are participating in.

Here is an example of a LinkFree Profile https://linkfree.io/eddiejaoude

Read more in the official documentation - https://linkfree.io/docs/environments/gitpod

Local development

This environment is fully on your computer and requires each dependency (for example MongoDB) to be installed and set up, but it gives you the most flexibility for customisation.

Prerequisites

Before contributing or adding a new feature, please make sure you have already installed the following tools:

  • NodeJs (Works with Node LTS version v16.17.0)
  • MongoDB
  • Optional NVM: Switch Node version by using nvm use (on Windows, use nvm use v16.17.0). If this is not installed, run nvm install v16.17.0.

Commands

You can set this up locally with the following steps:

  1. copy the .env.example file to .env and update any details required
  2. MongoDB is required, it is possible to use docker compose up to start the MongoDB service
  3. npm ci
  4. npm run dev

Read more in the official documentation https://linkfree.io/docs/environments/local-development#local-development

⛩️ Testimonials

Here are some testimonials from individuals who have used LinkFree:-

Francesco Ciulla

Francesco Ciulla

"I had another similar (paid) service. I tried LinkFree for a week and I got almost double the clicks on the links in the same period, redirecting from the same link. I decided to start using it regularly. I am very satisfied. It's not just a list of links but it's backed by a great Open Source community."

"Where LinkFree really stands out is the ability to make meaningful connections and find collaborators due to thoughtful features that are not simply about chasing ways to build your audience. The fact that it's also Open Source really makes it the tool I was waiting for in this space."

"LinkFree is very close to me because I have seen it evolve. With LinkFree, I have discovered so many amazing people in tech. Some of my favorite features are the barcode for profiles and testimonials. If you are reading this and don't have a profile, I highly recommend doing that. Thank you, Eddie and EddieHub community, for building this incredible app."
