I also do it this way via ghost for the website builder and a2hosting for the domain, and then I have multiple pages for linktree type uses, one is personal and one is public links basically, both pages not accessible via buttons on the website so they are only accessible to anyone with the links to the pages or a way to see the whole site tree.
Comment on fediverse/activitypub based linktree alternative

Linktree is just a static site with a list of links. You could do the exact same thing using Hugo as a site builder and GitHub Pages for free hosting. All it would cost you is a custom domain name if you wanted one. Not sure activitypub brings anything useful to the table here.

What about an AI-enabled ActivityPub linktree running on blockchain technology in the cloud?

github pages is free but it is owned by microsoft, how is this better than linktree?

You have more control, beyond that… It’s not. Better to fully self host it, but not everyone has the capability or interest in developing the capability to do that.

First I’ve heard of that one. Nice. Looks like the same setup that Github Pages uses too, so should be easy to transfer the site if needed.
