Lynx

Lynx adds open-source, self-hosted link-in-bio profiles to ProcessWire. Publish multiple branded and multilingual profiles with links, social accounts, portfolio blocks, themes, scheduling, analytics and a REST API.

It is made for creators, teams, products and communities that want fast profile pages they own, manage and localize inside their existing site.

What Lynx Does

• Personal link pages for creators, founders, teams and projects.
• Multilingual profiles with localized links and content blocks.
• Lightweight portfolio pages with images, projects, video and quotes.
• Branded campaign pages with scheduled links.
• Self-hosted profile hubs managed from ProcessWire.
• A single-profile homepage rendered directly from a ProcessWire template.

Admin Area

Lynx Manager adds a focused admin section where site editors can:

• create and manage profiles;
• rename profile slugs after creation;
• add links, social presets and portfolio sections;
• translate profile text, link labels and portfolio content;
• choose themes, colors, backgrounds and open-source fonts;
• schedule links for launches or campaigns;
• review views and clicks;
• import, export or install sample content.

Profile owners can also use the responsive front-end editor without entering the ProcessWire admin.

Public Profiles

Each profile can include:

• avatar, title and short bio;
• regular links and social links;
• gallery, project, video and quote blocks;
• translated versions with alternate-language links;
• custom visual styling per person or project.
• SEO title, description, canonical/Open Graph metadata and optional noindex.

Standalone profile pages are optimized for fast first paint, deferred video playback, accessible markup and cacheable anonymous responses.

Developer Integration

Render a profile from any ProcessWire template:

$lynx = $modules->get('Lynx');
echo $lynx->render('profile-slug');

Lynx also provides an embeddable Alpine renderer and optional REST endpoints for headless or JavaScript-driven integrations.
