Hey folks,7 months back I started my tech journey and I saw everyone has a link which has all of their links on one page/platform. So 3 months back I was looking for a platform like this for myself but most of them were paid or the free version doesn't have many features. then I found Linkfree and got my profile.

So today I will be telling you all about Linkfree.

# What is Linkfree?

LinkFree is the Open Source alternative to LinkTree. A platform where people can showcase all their social links, content, milestones, events and a whole lot of things in one place.

Linkfree is an Open Source project of the [EddieHub community](https://github.com/EddieHubCommunity) which is founded by [Eddie Jaoude](https://twitter.com/eddiejaoude).

My Linkfree profile for example: https://linkfree.eddiehub.io/imran1509

# Why choose Linkfree over other platforms?

You should have a Linkfree profile because of these reasons :

- Linkfree is Open Source and completely FREE!!!
