Why I built aryrabelo.com from scratch

I was tired of paying for an ugly Linktree and scattering my links everywhere. So I built aryrabelo.com: a single codebase that solves four problems at once.

What this site does

  • Lead capture with magnet pages at /g/[keyword], feeding the Instagram “COMMENT: X” funnel.
  • Trackable shortener at /r/[slug] behind every link — I know exactly how many clicks each post drove.
  • Self-hosted link-in-bio at /l/[slug], with analytics and sections, replacing Linktree and Liinks.
  • Bilingual portfolio and this blog.

The stack

Astro + Hono on Cloudflare Workers, oRPC, Better Auth and Drizzle over D1. Fully typed end-to-end, with real behavior tests — no mocks.

No meeting wasted. No click lost.
