[kkrishguptaa]

It was awesome! 💪🏻 I think the next time we should also include the Knight Commander General of EddieHub, Sara 🔥

[CBID2]

I second this! :)

Logging discussion

• Log rotation
  • I don't think it is required for Vercel
• Export to centralised location
  • Gives access to maintainers

[CBID2]

If possible, I can do the docs on the logging process. For context, I’m referring to the idea 4

[CBID2]

Troubleshooting guide creation discussion.
Would Linkfree benefit from having a troubleshooting guide? I noticed that there really isn’t any.

[eddiejaoude]

For example an FAQ?

• Q. I have no data in my database
• A. Visit url ... to load data

[eddiejaoude]

I also mean like if certain things are not popping up on their Linkfree profile

For example FAQ?

• Q. How do I get testimonials on my profile
• A.

[kkrishguptaa]

Have we ever thought about moving linkfree docs to docs.linkfree.io? We can have more extensive navigation and lots of navigation

[CBID2]

I raised an issue about this. Check #7580 when you can @eddiejaoude.

[SaraJaoude]

There is an FAQ page on the website already: https://linkfree.io/docs/faqs

[eddiejaoude]

Integrate with CrowdSec (export logs and also use middleware to protect) https://www.crowdsec.net

[kkrishguptaa]

Integration with Axiom (monitoring)

• Free uptil 500GB of logs/month
• Stores data upto one month of 100Gb worth of data (whichever is reached first) for free
• 30 query hours included in free plan
• Will sent automatic discord and email notifications if needed

SOLID ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT WE PAY 50$ TO VERCEL FOR

Here's a sample of a custom dashboard:

Here's the default one you get by connecting axiom and vercel:

CAN ALSO REPLACE VERCEL ANALYTICS IF WE ADD AN ADDITIONAL DATASET we'll have to create helper functions that send the data though

[CBID2]

Highlighting Non-coding contributions discussion
I recently read this article. I think there’s more that can be done to show new members that Linkfree accepts non-coding contributions. Like a disclaimer or pin examples of merged non-code prs. By the way, it’s June 14th not July 14th(referring to the Office Hours title).

[eddiejaoude]

We do have non code contributions docs page, it would be good to add more information to this page https://linkfree.io/docs/community-resources

[CBID2]

Definitely! :) We should also put in the entrance of the Linkfree and EddieHub repo

[CBID2]

Hey @eddiejaoude! :) I raised the issue for this. Check #7581

[eddiejaoude]

Insights scores big difference between profiles?

[kkrishguptaa]

Improving profile speeds

Solution: ISR

Incremental static regeneration will allow us to generate pages every X minutes rather than computing them every single time, this will improve performance by a millenia since websites will be mostly static

Problem it poses

The page visits won't be logged properly

Solution to the problem of the solution: 1

Using Partytown, to send the page visit event later via the web worker

Solution to the problem of the solution: 2

Using tinybird to make the page visit be counted on middleware, this will also give us additional benefits like:

• Geolocation (we can make a map on the page!) and IP tracking (potentially count one via by a particular IP in a particular time frame?)
• We can also track that from where the traffic is coming and where it is going
• Realtime

[eddiejaoude]

Thanks for the suggestions 👍

[kkrishguptaa]

The link on buttons should be the link

Why?

• SEO
• Copying it will be simpler

How?

Currently we log link-visit events, logging click events instead should fix it 👍🏻

[eddiejaoude]

Switching to Typescript?

[kkrishguptaa]

Yes typescript yes!

[kkrishguptaa]

Also we have to move to app/ directory
can be one big change 💪🏻

[kkrishguptaa]

and we also had to implement radix-primitives 😱 so many major changes lmao

[kkrishguptaa]

Moving linkfree docs to docs.linkfree.io to add a sidebar, search and overall make docs better

[kkrishguptaa]

Using radix-ui to improve accessibility of tailwind accessibility and functionality

[eddiejaoude]
