Your links become things on a sunny desk: polaroids, sticky notes, a record that spins. It is free, and it is the most hand-made of the six.
A desk for your links
Desk treats every tile as an object. You do not pick a button style, you drop a link and Posy chooses what it should be. The page ends up looking like someone arranged it by hand, because the objects are arranged by hand.
What your tiles become
Images
Polaroids, with your caption written underneath.
Notes
Sticky notes, and a round stamp badge for short announcements.
Spotify
A record that spins when it plays.
YouTube
A ticket that opens the video.
GitHub repos
Index cards with stars, language and description.
Newsletters and links
Substack, Buttondown and beehiiv links become envelopes, and links with a preview image become postcards. Social tiles are stickers under your name.

Tips for a Desk page
Mix the sizes
A large image becomes a big polaroid, and small tiles tuck around it like things left on a desk. Same-sized tiles make it look like a grid, so vary them.
Use the stamp for news
A short note set to the stamp style turns into a round badge. It suits a single announcement, such as "new zine out now".
Caption your polaroids
The caption is written under the picture, like a note on a photograph. A few words is enough.
Let music be a record
Paste a Spotify album or track and the record sits on the desk. It is the most charming tile, so give it room.

Questions
Is the Desk look free?
Yes. Desk is free on posy.page, along with Painted and Lofi.
Can I change the layout?
Yes. Layout is a separate setting from the look: a grid, a list or a free canvas. Try each and see which suits your tiles.
