What You Need to Start Using linkring and How to Sign In

Updated

You need two things to start: an email address and a name nobody has taken. There is no password — you enter your email, get a sign-in link, claim your name, and you are editing. The page itself is built and edited right on the page, so you see it come together as you work.

What you need before you start

Requirement Detail
Email address Used for the sign-in link; no password is created
Available name You claim a name that nobody has taken
Payment US$5 / month or US$50 / year, in US dollars

That is the whole setup list. No special software is needed to begin, and the editor runs in the page itself.

How sign-in works

  1. Enter your email address.
  2. Receive a sign-in link by email.
  3. Open the link — you are in.
  4. Claim your name.
  5. Start editing.

There is no password step at any point. The sign-in link is the only credential, so the email address you use is the one that controls access to your page.

What happens after you claim a name

Once your name is claimed, you are editing immediately. From the page you can:

  • Add a link to your work, a playlist, or something you love.
  • Pick a palette.
  • Give a project the spotlight.
  • Edit right on the page and watch it come together.

The result is a single page that loads quickly — the renderer is held to a budget of under 10 KB of HTML rather than measured against one.

What you get for the price

One price, everywhere, in US dollars: US$5 / month or US$50 a year (two months on us). Everything is included — no upgrade dance. That covers:

  • Your page, your colours, and a domain you own
  • All your links, images, and analytics history
  • No ads and no linkring branding on your page
  • An export you can host anywhere

If you stop paying

Your published page stays online and your domain keeps resolving. The editor goes read-only until you come back. You are not locked out of your own content, and you can still export.

Taking your page with you

Export hands back everything you put in — as JSON in a documented format, and as the static files the CDN serves. Drop them on any host and the page is the page. No special software, and nothing of linkring's left in it.

Common questions at sign-up

Do I need to choose a password? No. Access is by email sign-in link only.

What if the name I want is taken? You need a name nobody has taken, so you would pick another.

Can I start before paying? The pricing page is the place to confirm current terms; the published price is US$5 / month or US$50 / year.

What if I want to leave later? Stop paying and your page stays online, your domain keeps resolving, and the editor goes read-only. Export is available so you can host the static files anywhere.
