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.

PocketWire

Lynx opts in with one lynx-admin-gated, read-only status resource. It reports only the installed module version and local module readiness. Profiles, links, blocks, translations, analytics, configuration, public rendering and all mutations stay outside the provider contract.

Requirements

• ProcessWire 3.0.244 or newer.
• PHP 8.3 or newer.

Installation

1. Copy the Lynx folder into /site/modules/.
2. In ProcessWire Admin, refresh modules.
3. Install Lynx.
4. Install Lynx Manager.
5. Open Lynx Manager and create a profile or install the optional multilingual demo.

Documentation
