Show HN: Build BioLinks, Portfolios, and Menus with an Easy-to-Use Website

Hi HN,

I’ve been working on a platform that helps users create specific types of websites with ease, such as:

- Bio Links: Perfect for linking all your social media profiles into one customizable page. - Portfolios: Showcase your work as a freelancer or creative professional. - Digital Menus: Ideal for small businesses like restaurants, with WhatsApp integration and shopping cart functionality.

What’s Behind the Platform:

- Frontend: Built with Vite for fast development and a snappy user experience. - Backend: Hosted on Railway, offering serverless scalability. - Database: Uses MongoDB Atlas for flexible, reliable data management. - License Management and Purchases: Powered by Gumroad, simplifying the process of selling licenses for template usage and managing user access.

How It Works:

- Choose a Template: Select from BioLink, Portfolio, or Menu designs. Customize: Modify colors, layouts, and content through a simple editor. - License Activation: Purchase a license via Gumroad to unlock and deploy a unique website. - Deploy Instantly: Get your site live on scalable, serverless infrastructure.

Why I Built This:

I wanted to create a lightweight, straightforward solution for freelancers, creators, and small business owners. Using Gumroad for license and access management ensures simplicity for both users and me as the creator.

Looking for Feedback:

- Does using Gumroad for license management feel like the right choice for this type of platform? - Are there additional templates or integrations (e.g., Zapier, Stripe) that would be valuable? - Any suggestions for improving the technical stack or user experience?

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any advice for taking this further.

Thanks for your time!
