front — one link that's actually yours

There's one link everybody asks you for. The one in your bio. It's how a stranger on Instagram finds your shop, how a listener finds your voice, how an old friend finds… everything.

For years most of us have rented that link from some service — a subscription here, a watermark there, a tracker quietly riding along with every tap.

Today we're changing that. Meet front.

Your front is already live

Every Hive account now has a front at liketu.net/@yourname. Not a waiting list, not a sign-up form — a page, live right now. If you never touch it, it quietly shows your Hive identity, your latest work, and a Follow button — which already beats a lot of paid link pages.

Claim it, and it becomes yours properly: your photo up top, your links underneath, and one main button that says what you most want people to do — Join, Follow, Watch, Listen, Shop, Hire, or Support.

Add up to 24 doorways: your Hive posts, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Spotify, Patreon, Ko-fi, your shop, your email — there are ready-made shortcuts for nearly thirty platforms, plus custom links for anything else. Links can stay compact, or step forward as featured cards with a picture, a line of context, and their own button.

Your best work, kept alive

The top of a front isn't a pile of links — it's a Showcase. Pin up to three posts you're proud of, and they appear as full cards with their photos. Or let it run itself: your front can always show your newest work, filtered how you like it — only photo posts, only video, only a community or tag you care about.

Publish something new tonight; your front is already showing it in the morning.

Three moods, one page

front ships with three real designs, not three color swatches:

• Darkroom — a focused black stage with a clear liketu-blue signal.
• Overcast — open daylight with quiet, clear contrast.
• Signal — a deep blue broadcast stage for high-energy creators.

Pick how the top of your page greets people — your cover photo, a big portrait, or pure atmosphere — then standard or airy spacing, and light, dark, or follow-the-device. Every combination stays fast and readable.

The Hive twist

Here's the part we're proudest of. Hive links on a front are routed with care:

• By default, a post opens in the app it was made with — a 3Speak video opens on 3Speak, a photo story opens where photos live.
• You can pin a favourite app for any link, or for your whole page.
• And your visitors always get the last word: one tap on the app chip and they can open that link — or every compatible Hive link — in liketu, PeakD, Ecency, Hive.blog, InLeo, 3Speak, Waivio, dBuzz, Actifit, TravelFeed, SkateHive, or any Hive app they type in themselves. Their choice is saved on their device.

It's even polite about it: a photo post will never be sent to a video app just because someone set a preference once.

Your readers already have a favourite Hive app. Your front doesn't argue with them — it opens the door they already use. It's a doorway to Hive, not a wall around liketu.

It counts, without spying

Open your editor and you get a restrained seven-day pulse: visits, people, link opens, and your most-opened link. Enough to know what's working. Deeper analytics can wait.

What you won't find — because it doesn't exist — is surveillance. No cookies. No trackers. No stored IP addresses. No names. Visitors are counted, never identified. Fronts that were never claimed record nothing at all.

The editor is just as careful with you. Opening it takes one posting-key approval — Keychain, HiveAuth, or your PIN. Nothing is posted to the chain, and your key never leaves your signer. You can also export your whole front as a small file anytime: your page, portable by design.

What this does for Hive

Think about where bio links live: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X — the busiest doorsteps on the internet. Every front shared there is a doorway from the old web straight into Hive.

• A curious visitor taps your link and lands on your Hive life — then keeps reading on whichever Hive app they prefer.
• If they join through your front's button, they arrive with you as their sponsor — and you can receive 1% from liketu's existing share. Their rewards are never reduced.
• Every creator who moves their bio link here moves one more piece of the web onto rails they actually own.

One person's front is a convenience. A few thousand of them are a front door for the whole chain.

Claim yours in about a minute

The editor reads the way the page thinks: Choose their next step. Keep one thing alive. Set the atmosphere. Arrange your directory. Choose when it is visible. Five decisions, a live preview, and you're done.

1. Open liketu.net (or the app) and sign in with your Hive account.
2. Open the menu and tap Front.
3. Approve once, arrange your links, pick your mood, save.
4. Put liketu.net/@you in every bio you have.

front. By liketu. Built on Hive.
