LINKIFY

The brief

A personal build with a simple premise: a profile page should be composable. Add the widgets you want, arrange them, and share one link that looks like you rather than a template.

The approach

Next.js with Prisma and PostgreSQL. Custom widget pages, Google sign-in and email authentication, and a session system implemented directly in the database instead of depending on a hosted service.

The constraint that made it interesting: every widget could be different, but the page still had to feel instant and keep a single coherent layout.

The outcome

Open source on GitHub, and the project I reach for when I want to test an auth or data pattern on my own terms.

It is also where a lot of the interface opinions on this site were formed: fewer controls, clearer states, no decoration that has to explain itself.
