I've been quietly running soc.bio for about 6 months. It's a link-in-bio tool, yes, I know there are a million of them. Mine is $4/month vs Linktree's $24/month, and I've been slowly adding the features that matter most.

This week I shipped email capture. You add a call-to-action block to your page, visitors submit their email, it lands in a leads dashboard in your account. Easy-peasy.

What it took to build (for anyone curious):

The backend is Django. The tricky parts were the token-based form submission (so the form can POST without the visitor being logged in), deduplicating leads across multiple pages per user, and wiring up the session-based success/error flash messages correctly.

The frontend is Vue 3. I had to extend the editor to handle a new block type alongside links and headers, add a live preview that shows the call-to-action block in the page preview pane, and make sure the save/update flow handled the new fields without breaking existing blocks.

Took a couple of week of evenings.

Where the product stands:

• 118 users, mostly organic

• $4/month Starter plan (analytics + email capture)

• Still pre-revenue, first paying customer is the goal right now

If you have a soc.bio account, the feature is live. If you don't and want to try it:

It's free to start.

Happy to answer questions about the build if anyone's curious.
