Hello everyone!

The idea of LinkWall (https://linkwall.me) came when one of my friends asked me to build a social media aggregator for his webpage. I often have to check multiple social accounts of the same person to keep updated on its latest posts. Therefore, I decided to build a platform where people create their webpage, add links to their favourite content, and stream their social activity automatically.

You can embed tweets for now, but Facebook and Instagram posts will be available soon. In the meanwhile, you can link to any content from your LinkWall, including all your social accounts, blog links, songs, etc. Just create a new button that leads to what your followers need to see. Analytics will give you insights into how people discover your content.

I plan to add more widgets in the following weeks. Youtube, HN and GitHub integrations are on my list, but I would love to hear what else you want to display. Your feedback and suggestions will shape this project to cover all you need to build an amazing personal webpage from scratch in just a few minutes. There should be only one link to someone's content, not 10!

Please look at the example page (https://linkwall.me/example) to see what you can build, and give it a try. Whether you like or dislike it, contact me in the live chat (or comment here) and let me know how to improve LinkWall for you. I can't wait to see what you think!

If you feel like sharing your webpage with others, I am happy to change the example page with yours for some time. :)

Seems polished, mate. There are quite a few options in this space. So prepare for serious competition (e.g. Linktree).

Also, you can verify it on SaaSHub https://www.saashub.com/linkwall

Thank you! I will try to include features that most of those alternatives don't have, and iterate as fast as possible until all users have all the widgets they need.
Is it only for my content? Can I show retweets/reblogs/interesting articles I run across?

I'd love to see a custom domain option so I can use it as a personal blog itself.

For now, you can show only your tweets automatically. I plan to add custom posts as widgets soon.
