Custom link-in-bio template

[TrekkerStudios]

Hello everyone! Big thanks to Otto for this tool, he's a real one. I made a serverless link-in-bio site that uses a Postgres connection to manage links dynamically without the need to redeploy! I'm fairly new to web dev (as far as anything past standard HTML anyway) so if anyone has ways of improving it please do so and make a pull request, I'd love to see your methods!

Previously I had done this with a static site, but would have to redeploy/reupload files every time I made a change. I wanted it to instead utilize a SQL-style backend to allow for it to dynamically update links.

Umm

$ git push

static site now redeployed...

I think workers kv would the proper way to achieve this dynamically. Especially since planetscale limits the number of free databases and freezes after 6 days without writes.

I might actually give that a look. I'm just starting to wrap my brain around edge stuff, so I hadn't really considered it before. I use Supabase so as long as it's regularly accessed it won't pause my db, however kv would make it significantly more straightforward.

Welp after a lot of refactoring and banging my head I did it, albeit with Vercel's KV to start, then eventually I'll figure out how to set up miniflare and get it moved over.
Version 2.1 now up
