Original Summary

A while ago, I built a small web app called Linqes just for my own personal use. I wanted a super fast, lightweight page to group my links for my social media bios without relying on heavy third-party scripts. Because I was the only user at first, I kept the stack as simple and fast as possible: a Go backend (Gin) rendering server-side HTML templates, Firestore for storage, and aggressive caching at the edge so pages load in under 50ms. Over the past few months, with how much easier it has become to iterate and build new features quickly, I got carried away improving it. What started as a simple list of links ended up growing into a much bigger tool: - Built-in URL shortener with click tracking - Automatic digital business card (.vcf vCard) and QR code generator for in-person events - Customizable themes and password-protected links - A native remote MCP server (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP) so I can add or shorten links directly from Claude Code or terminal agents without opening the browser It has been a really fun journey taking a personal utility and polishing it for other people to use as well. For those of you who also turned a personal tool into a public project: what was the hardest part for you when transitioning from "built just for me" to opening it up to real users? Any feedback on the idea is super welcome!   submitted by   /u/giulianobr [link]   [comments]
