Show HN: Made a free tool for affiliate marketers to fix in-app browser issues
link-it.bioI kept running into a super annoying problem as an affiliate — social media apps open links in their own browsers, and that kills tracking, breaks deep links, and sometimes just eats commissions entirely. I couldn’t find a good fix, so I built one.
It’s a little link converter that makes your affiliate links open in the user’s real browser instead of the in-app one. No magic, just a small trick that makes a big difference.
Totally free. No signup needed unless you want to make a full link-in-bio page. If you just want to fix a link, that works right out of the box. It doesn’t cost me anything to run so I made it available for anyone.
Built it with Next.js and MongoDB. And I am proud to say: Not vibe-coded.
If you’re doing affiliate stuff and this sounds useful, feel free to try it. Happy to help if you get stuck or have questions.
Also any feedback is greatly appreciated!
