Key Quote:
“My motivation for creating this decentralized alternative stems from my personal experience managing multiple accounts on Linktree. These include profiles for my three bands (Forgetful Bob, Fizzles, and Marssmarsshan), along with my personal and work accounts. This project helps eliminate my reliance on a centralized platform and aligns with my vision of promoting more open and user-controlled applications.”
