For freelance developers the best link in bio is one page that shows shipped work: your GitHub contribution graph rendered natively, live project links and your stack in a sentence, plus payment details behind a password for the deposit. Folio does all of it free, in about ten minutes, without touching your money.

The cobbler's children have no website.

Every freelance dev has a half-finished portfolio repo and a bio that links straight to GitHub. A client who isn't a developer opens that profile and sees noise: forks, config repos, a contribution graph with no context. The person deciding whether to wire you a five-figure deposit is usually a founder or a marketing lead, and they're checking one thing, whether you ship. You need one page that shows shipped work and reads as hireable, without becoming a weekend project itself.

The blocks that matter for you.

Add the GitHub block and your contribution graph renders right on the page, proof of consistency a non-technical client can read at a glance. Link two or three live projects, the deployed thing beats the repo every time. Put your stack in a short text block so the right clients self-select, add X or LinkedIn, and a Pay-Me block for the deposit. No CSS required, which is either a relief or an insult, your call.

What to put in your link in bio as a developer

  1. 1

    The GitHub block

    Your contribution graph, rendered on the page. A founder can't read your code, they can read a year of green squares.

  2. 2

    Two or three live projects

    Link the deployed product, not the repo. Shipped and clickable is the proof that closes.

  3. 3

    Your stack in one sentence

    A text block naming what you build with. It filters inquiries before they reach your inbox.

  4. 4

    X or LinkedIn

    Wherever your work conversations actually start. One tap from proof to contact.

  5. 5

    A Pay-Me block

    Bank, Wise or PayPal behind a password, so the deposit doesn't wait on an invoicing tool.

Set it up in ten minutes

  1. 1

    Claim your handle

    folio.link/your-name. Sign in with Google or a mail code, no password to invent.

  2. 2

    Connect the GitHub block

    Type your username and the contribution graph renders. That's the whole integration.

  3. 3

    Link projects, stack and Pay-Me

    Paste your live URLs, write the stack line, set a password on your payment details.

  4. 4

    Paste the link everywhere

    GitHub profile, X bio, LinkedIn and the reply you send when someone asks what you've built.

Take the deposit before you open the editor.

Net-30 invoices and international wires are where freelance devs lose time and money: a US client who can't do SEPA, a startup that pays when the runway allows, a wire that eats 40 dollars in fees. With Pay-Me you list the methods that work for you behind a password. Share it when the contract's signed, the client sees exactly how to pay you, bank, Wise or PayPal, and picks the one that works from their side. You keep 100% and Folio never touches the money.

Questions

Can I show my GitHub activity?

Yes, there's a native GitHub block that renders your contribution graph on your page.

Why not just build my own site?

You can, and you've been meaning to for a year. Folio is live in ten minutes and looks intentional, which beats a perfect site that doesn't exist.

How do international clients pay me?

You add the methods that work for you, like Wise, bank transfer or PayPal, behind a password. The client picks one and pays you directly, no fee.

Can non-technical clients make sense of my page?

That's the point. Live projects and a contribution graph read as "this person ships" without anyone opening a repo.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free, no paywall, no transaction fees and no credit card to start.

Can I still link my full GitHub?

Yes, add it as a link block. Your page is the readable summary, the profile is there for the technical reviewer who wants depth.
