kytelink 🪁

a decluttered, open source, and free alternative to linktree

🚀 Getting Started

Kyte Hosted

• Head to kytelink.com
• Hit the Get Started button
• Sign up with Github, Google, or Email
• Follow the onboarding steps to create your first link

Self Hosted

• Clone the kytelink repo and run npm install
• Follow the .env.example file to create your own .env file
• Set up your database by running npx prisma migrate dev --name init and npx prisma generate

When setting it up, all environment variables are optional at build-time, but required througout usage. For example, if you don't want to include Github or Google authentication, you can leave those variables blank. However, if you try to use them, it will throw an error.

✨ Developer Notes

• You'll occasionally notice VCF references in the codebase. Kytelink used to support adding contact cards that would allow anyone to import your contact information into their phone. This feature has been removed to reduce third-party dependencies, now we only need a database and cloudflare images!
• There may be some wack code througout, feel free to open a PR to fix it! I originally started this project as a way to learn Next, but as it grew I figured it would be fun to fix it up and opensource:)
• If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter 🍉

kytelink is completely free for all features
