bb.bi
start with a link. build anything. free, AI-powered.
## what I built
bb.bi is a personal site platform. you get one address (like bb.bi/yourname) and it can be anything — a link-in-bio, a blog, a portfolio, a restaurant menu with online ordering.
the original idea was simple: AI generates great HTML now, but there's still no frictionless place to put it. I wanted "paste and it's live" — no deploy, no server, no DNS config. that became bb.bi.
## how it works
- start simple: sign up, pick a handle, add your links. you have a link-in-bio page in under a minute.
- go deeper: write blog posts in Markdown, enable plugins (contact forms, guestbook, visitor counter, quizzes, bookings), add subpages.
- go full custom: write raw HTML with Tailwind CSS, or use the built-in AI page builder — describe what you want in plain text, get a styled page back.
the key design decision: AI is optional. the platform is useful without it. you can write Markdown, paste HTML from ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor, or use the built-in generator. all valid paths.
## plugins (the part I'm most proud of)
instead of building one thing well, I built a plugin system. each plugin is opt-in:
- blog — Markdown posts, categories, tags, RSS feed (free)
- contact forms — customizable fields, unlimited submissions (free)
- visitor counter — per-visitor dedup, bot filtering (free)
- guestbook — with moderation/approval workflow (Pro)
- media library — CDN-hosted images with folders (Pro)
- quizzes — scored + personality types, submission tracking (Pro)
- online bookings — services, availability, scheduling (Business)
- menu & ordering — full restaurant system with categories, variants, modifiers, order management (Business)
every plugin exposes a JavaScript SDK inside your HTML pages. so you can call bb.posts.list() or bb.counter.increment() from your custom code — your static page gets a backend.
## pricing
I intentionally made this cheap:
| Plan | Price |
|------|-------|
| Free | $0 — 1 handle, blog, forms, counter, 15 AI credits/yr, no branding |
| Pro | $9.99/yr — subpages, subdomain, guestbook, media library, 500 AI credits |
| Max | $49.99/yr — 100 subpages, 5 handles, 2,000 AI credits |
| Business | $199.99/yr — unlimited subpages, bookings, menu ordering, 5,000 AI credits |
yes, per year. not per month. I think personal sites shouldn't cost $20/month.
free plan has zero branding. no "made with bb.bi" badge, no ads, nothing. your content, your page.
## current state
- live and working at [bb.bi](https://bb.bi)
- 14 case studies showing different use cases
- site fully translated in 14 languages
- 11 comparison pages vs competitors (Linktree, Carrd, WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, etc.)
## what I'd love feedback on
1. positioning — is "beyond bio" clear enough? or does it sound like just another link-in-bio tool?
2. plugin system — does the breadth (blog + quizzes + bookings + restaurant menus) feel coherent, or like feature soup?
3. pricing — too cheap? the $9.99/yr Pro feels like a no-brainer to me, but I wonder if it signals "not serious."
happy to answer any questions about the build, the architecture, or the business model. thanks for reading.
About
AI generates great HTML now, but there's nowhere simple to put it. I built bb.bi so you could paste HTML and have it live instantly. it grew into a full personal site platform with blog, forms, bookings, and more.
