Linkshare - a GitHub Pages template to store links and share them on social media

Christian Heilmann - Mar 14 '23 - - Dev Community

With Twitter shutting down its APIs my automatic bookmarking of links broke, so I thought I use GitHub and GitHub pages to store links I talked about instead. Enter Linkshare, a GitHub Pages template that makes it simple to copy your links in a shareable format to use on Twitter, Mastodon, LinkedIn, etc…

You can see it in action at https://codepo8.github.io/linkshare/ and also see my own links at https://codepo8.github.io/links/ .

Features include:

  • Link categories are markdown lists of links in named documents
  • Dark/Light theme automatically applied
  • Customisable template for the copied share text

You can read up all on customisation in the readme.md.

To host linkshare yourself, fork it and set up GitHub Pages for the repo.
