What LittleLink does well
LittleLink, by Seth Cottle, is a DIY Linktree alternative made of plain HTML and CSS. There is no build step and no database. You copy it, edit index.html and deploy to GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify or any static host. Its README reports that the sample page scores 100 in all four PageSpeed Insights categories.
It ships more than 100 branded buttons, with more in LittleLink Extended, and a Button Builder for making your own. A static page has no server to patch and little that can break.

Where Posy is different
No HTML to edit
Paste a link and Posy picks the tile. Resize and reorder tiles in the editor. Nobody needs to know HTML to change the page.
Tiles that do more than link
A Spotify link becomes a music card with cover art, a YouTube link a video that loads on play, a GitHub repo a card with live stars.
Change it by asking
Connect an AI app over MCP and say "add my new video and publish". With LittleLink, you or your AI edits the HTML and redeploys.
Stats included
Visits, taps, referrers and country, counted without cookies.

Questions
Is LittleLink free?
Yes. It is MIT licensed and you host it yourself, often for free on a static host.
Is Posy heavier to host than LittleLink?
Yes. Posy needs Node 20.9 or newer, or Docker, plus a small SQLite database. LittleLink needs only a static host. In return Posy gives you an editor, stats and an API.
Does Posy run on GitHub Pages?
No. Posy needs a server, or Vercel with Turso. Use posy.page if you would rather not run anything.
Can I bring my LittleLink buttons over?
Copy your links, not the HTML. Posy has tiles for 29 social platforms and turns each pasted link into the right one.
