LinkyCal.com

Over the past few months, I have been working on my own project called LinkyCal.com. It’s a all-in-one coaching software with built-in link-in-bio pages, scheduling, contracts and forms.

Why am I building this?

During covid, a lot of friends who do coaching or in-personal consulting had to move virtual. Being not so tech savvy, they were struggling to figure out how to continue to do their routine admin tasks online, like sending invoices, onboarding new clients. I have personally built a few of them ductaped solutions with Webflow for their landing page which sends to Calendly links for scheduling and Stripe for collecting payments/sending invoices.

It was all working great until it did not. This solution was not meeting their needs while being overly complex to maintain. Because these tools are built for general purpose use. Webflow is mostly used for building landing pages for VC backed startups. Calendly is too generic to be useful for coaches and consultants.

They needed a simple, intuitive and cost effective solutions that’s just perfect for their needs. This is where LinkyCal is born. It is has link-in-bio pages instead of fancy landing pages that’s hard to structure well to make it converting. It has scheduling built-in that’s designed to fit a coach’s regular workflow.

Additionally, it has a few other features that compliments that workflow, like forms and products to onboard new clients.

What’s the tech?

Linkycal is mostly a NextJS and TRPC codebase. It is hosted on Vercel and Cloudflare in front of it. Media is hosted on S3 and Database is a MySQL instance hosted on Planetscale.

How is it going so far?

I have recently launched it on some forums to a small success. I have been working on nights and weekends. It’s forcing me to learn new things and pushing me out of my comfort zone to do sales and marketing…
