A hand-built link-in-bio page for every Falafelinhotpot social profile.

Linktree didn’t provide the control needed. This project replaces a subscription service with full creative ownership over the page every follower touches first — no template lock-in, no monthly fee.

Falafel in Hotpot link hub — custom WebGL ink-wash page with glass cards and inline SVG icons

Replacing Linktree removed template lock-in and the monthly subscription — the link hub is the first page followers touch, so full creative ownership over rendering, icons, and interactions mattered.
