Looks really good, both copy & design wise! Often times I write the copy for a LP while/before building to get clear on messaging (which influences product). That said, this kind of seems like a commodity idea, no? Lots of competition and low price points. I shipped a tool like this 5~ years back and it was a huge uphill battle - ended up selling it for chump change just to stop thinking about it. Just my two cents, best of luck. :)
Appreciate the thoughtful take 🙏 Totally agree - writing copy first sharpens messaging (My approach: Copy → Wireframe (UX) → Design (UI)).
That said: I usually build first and never get to showcasing, so this is my first Landing Page in a while - learning to get comfortable putting my work out there :)
Yeah, the space is crowded, and I’ve dismissed similar ideas before. Timing wasn’t right, and differentiation felt weak. But now, I feel like there is a gap:
No well-maintained open-source link-in-bio tool
Nothing truly in between a link-in-bio and a website builder (Carrd is close but lacks a developer ecosystem)
Koji & Bento had traction - Bento’s still pulling 7M+ monthly visits despite being EOL for 1.5 years (Saku will be Bento’s & Koji’s vision combined, idk why LinkTree did not execute on that)
Not chasing a unicorn - just trying to build something valuable, bootstrapped, and sustainable
Bigger vision: Bring widgets to the web - home automation, dashboards, etc.
Monetization? Fair-use model like Tally.so, with main revenue from interactive widgets (buy me a coffee, digital sales, etc.). Maybe premium widgets down the line. Goal: Win-win-win.
Really appreciate your insights - thanks for sharing your experience 🙌
With this clarification, does it feel like something worth exploring to you? Or do you think Widgets just don’t belong on the web? 🤔
Your vision makes sense, although I can't say I'm super familiar with the market these days. I'd encourage you to go for it if you have conviction - you're right, you don't need to capture the whole market if you're just looking for something lifestyle!
That said, you've just gotta get creative with distribution; your LTV isn't high enough to justify spending much to acquire a user.
Definitely helps validate the core idea a bit. Seems like there are now around 5-10 "Bento/Widget"-style link-in-bios, and this one is the latest addition.
Yeah, the plan is to grow organically and through word of mouth by building something genuinely useful with a wow factor.
