Social profile icons

[erlend-sh]

A typical linkspage supports a special kind of link that doesn’t appear among the vertically listed boxes, but rather as a tiny platform-logo right underneath the avatar.

How do we add these without too many preemptive fields?

I suggest we have just a single box, with an additional added for each one you fill in. Pasting a link from a common social network like Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, GitHub, Instagram etc. should automatically fill in the correct icon for it.

That way we don’t have to play favorites.

Here’s a good list of services as well as source of images: https://github.com/sethcottle/littlelink/tree/main/images/icons

@erlend-sh We have already added social media icons from link in this fix
#219

So, for what links we are going to show only icon instead of full button with text ?

[erlend-sh]

‘Social Links’ is a new links section, positioned above the markdown ‘Description’ section.

The most widely used social accounts (with very recognizable logos) will usually be added here instead of the links-list further below.

Thanks i will show top 5 most used social media in that sections and rest in links-list

I think this is done. Re-open if I read that wrong.

do we have this? I don’t understand yet how I can add social links. We also don’t appear to display them on the pubpage.

Also, we should make people’s Weird profile link a prefilled link slot.

Ah, I forgot about the pubpage theme, we do need to make the social links display differently there.

I don’t understand yet how I can add social links.

I thought we went in a new direction or something, since now we automatically determine social links from the URL:

And it turns into a badge at the top of the page:

Also, we should make people’s Weird profile link a prefilled link slot.

That's not really something the user can change, though, right, so it doesn't really need to show up anywhere but the pubpage, which we already do automatically.

It probably doesn't make sense for the Weird pubpage to link to itself?

[erlend-sh]

I’d rather have it show up automatically as an icon up there rather than the full link here

I guess that’s good enough for now 👌

When #241 lands we will move this links wizard above the markdown box and make it exclusively for social icons.

[erlend-sh]

Github link is added both as social icon as well as link box, but we don’t wanna display it as the latter.

[zicklag]

All that sounds good. 👍

[erlend-sh]

With separate social links done, to close we just need:

• Render social icons on pubpage.
• Add a hardcoded entry for Weird among the social links, instead of a list-link.
