Best Link in Bio for Developers (2026): GitHub Graph + Project Grid
Compare a ManyLinks project grid with a custom site, Carrd and a GitHub profile. Learn what the contribution graph does and where its limits are.
A developer bio page works best when it explains a few projects and makes the code, demo and contact links easy to find. ManyLinks can arrange these in a grid and display a GitHub contribution calendar. A custom site is a better fit when the site itself is part of your engineering showcase.
What the GitHub graph adds
The calendar gives visitors a familiar view of contribution activity. ManyLinks fetches it through a third-party contribution API; it is not a live stream of every commit and may be delayed or unavailable.
Do not treat the graph as a score for engineering ability. Private work, reviews, research and contributions outside GitHub may not be represented. Explain what each project does and what you built alongside the graph.
Compare the options
| Option | Useful when |
|---|---|
| ManyLinks | You want a project grid and existing GitHub calendar without building a site |
| Custom static site | You need custom routes, a blog or complete control |
| Carrd | You want a flexible one-page builder and can configure integrations |
| GitHub profile README | Your main audience already visits your GitHub profile |
| Linktree | A straightforward collection of project links is enough |
Carrd supports custom embeds on eligible Pro plans, so it is inaccurate to say it cannot show live external content. A GitHub profile is also shareable outside GitHub, even if a custom page gives you more control over the presentation.
Build a useful project page
Choose a few projects, give each a plain-language description and separate the demo from the source-code link. Add contact details and writing only when they help the visitor decide what to open. Preview desktop and mobile layouts and check the graph's loading and failure states.
See custom domains if you want an address such as yourname.dev.
