MakerLink -- Your Founder Page

MakerLink -- Your Founder Page

MakerLink is a free link-in-bio page built for founders. Share a single URL that shows your bio, skills, startups, social links, and more -- like Linktree, but made for makers.

Your public page lives at:

MakerLink Public Page
makersfuel.com/u/your-username

Prerequisites

  1. A Maker Profile -- create one at /makers/edit (see Maker Profiles)
  2. At least one startup -- optional but recommended for the best-looking page

The dashboard uses a 3-column layout:

Analytics

MakerLink tracks how visitors interact with your page while respecting privacy.

What Is Tracked

  • Page views and unique visitors
  • Clicks (broken down by type -- social, platform, startup, custom link)
  • Referrer sources
  • Countries and regions
  • Device types (mobile, desktop, tablet)

Privacy

  • No IP addresses stored -- session hashing uses a daily rotating salt
  • Bot detection filters out crawlers
  • View deduplication -- 30-minute window prevents repeat counting
  • Click deduplication -- 1-minute window prevents repeat counting

Tracking API

Two endpoints power the analytics:

  • /api/makerlink/track-view -- records page views
  • /api/makerlink/track-click -- records link clicks

Free vs Paid

MakerLink is free to create and use. There is no separate MakerLink pricing tier.

Sharing Your MakerLink

Several ways to share your page:

  • Copy URL from the MakerLink dashboard
  • Share button for native device sharing
  • Open in new tab to preview how it looks
  • QR code displayed directly on your card

Use it in your Twitter bio, LinkedIn profile, email signature, pitch decks, or anywhere you want people to find you.
