I. Building a website
Too much work.
A template, a hundred design decisions, and upkeep that never ends.
Don’t build a website.
Get a beautiful one in minutes. Just add your work and pick a theme.

a
YouTube talk.
It shows up with its cover, title, and source.
And new work from
Substack,
Medium,
ORCID,
and podcast feeds comes in on its own.

The crowd at 2 a.m.
On night buses, all-night diners, and the strangers who keep us company.
Granta · Mar 2
Nobody on the N22 is going anywhere together. A nurse finishing a double shift, two students arguing softly in Portuguese, a man asleep against the window. I moved here to be near people, and found them, finally, at this hour...

Ep. 30: A city at four in the morning
A night walk with the architect Inés Calder, on loneliness, density, and why we watch each other’s kitchens.
The Long Way Round · Oct 20
Inés calls a tower block three hundred people agreeing not to say hello. We talk about the woman across the courtyard who waters her plants at midnight, and why it helps so much to know she’s there...

No. 4 Between a website and a feed
Three ways to be online, and a fourth.
II. Link-in-bio pages
Too little room.
Fine for six links. At sixty it’s a long scroll, and it keeps nudging you to grow.
III. Newsletters and social media
Someone else’s rules.
An algorithm decides who sees your work, and a quiet month makes you look gone.
IV. The fourth way
A website you don’t have to build, arranged the way you want. It never looks dead, so you can post when you have something to say.

No. 6 Questions
Asked and answered
What people ask before they start.
- How is this different from a website, a link-in-bio page, or a newsletter?
- A website is a lot of work. A link-in-bio page holds too little. A newsletter or social account keeps your readers on someone else’s platform. Linkfount sits in between: your links, posts, PDFs, papers, books, and events, sorted into lists (and lists inside lists), with the design, search, and a Recent page handled for you.
- Do I need to be technical?
- No. Paste a link and you’ll see your site before you make an account. After that, adding something means pasting a link or uploading a file.
- Will my site look empty if I only have a few things?
- No. Six links, each with a line on why you chose it, look like a well-kept shelf. Four hundred look like a library. Your site is organized into lists you choose, so it doesn’t depend on how often you post.
- Is there a feed or an algorithm?
- Not one that decides who gets seen. Linkfount has no feed that ranks, boosts, or buries anyone’s work. Readers follow you directly, by email or by subscribing to your site (or a single list) in any RSS reader.
- Who pays for Linkfount?
- The people who use it. Linkfount is bootstrapped and paid for by subscriptions, not investors or advertisers. There are no ads, and nothing pops up when your visitors arrive.
- Can I leave?
- Yes, any time, on any plan. Download a zip of your items, lists, and subscribers as spreadsheets, with your images. If you use your own domain, point it wherever you go next.
- When is Linkfount the wrong choice?
- If you need a shop or a checkout, use a website builder; Linkfount doesn’t take payments. If you want a custom design, a builder or a developer will give you more control. And if you want an algorithm to find you an audience, that’s what social platforms are for.
