Gliint, a French alternative to Linktree

A link page is no longer just somewhere to stack Instagram, TikTok and a website. It is often the first page people see after tapping your bio. Within seconds, they should understand who you are, what you offer and where to go next. Gliint is a French alternative to Linktree designed to turn that quick visit into a genuine discovery.

Why look for an alternative to Linktree?

Social platforms give you very little room to direct visitors. A single intermediate page solves that problem by bringing several destinations behind one URL.

A plain list of buttons can be enough for three links. It becomes restrictive when you want to present a release, show selected photographs, announce an event or provide context before a click. At that point, your goal is not merely to redirect people: it is to organise a story and highlight a priority.

Linktree and Gliint: two approaches to the link in bio

Linktree is built around a vertical list of links. It is efficient and familiar. Gliint uses tiles with different formats, visual weights and reading order. A video can take priority over a secondary link; an upcoming date can become central for a week before making way for a new release.

Ask yourself whether you want a uniform list or a more editorial page, whether visitors should see content before clicking, and whether the page should extend your visual identity.

What should a strong alternative provide?

Useful customisation. Colour matters, but hierarchy matters more. Sizes and positions should guide attention towards the action that counts.

Relevant integrations. Musicians, restaurants and photographers do not organise their presence in the same way. Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, X and LinkedIn each need suitable presentation.

A great mobile experience. Most visitors arrive from a social app. Copy should stay concise and important actions should be immediately accessible.

Clear analytics. Views, clicks, popular content and traffic sources should help you make simple decisions.

Moving from Linktree to Gliint

1. Remove obsolete campaigns and abandoned links.
2. Rank destinations according to your current objective.
3. Start your Gliint page with three to five essential items.
4. Add context through a profile, video, track, introduction, address or date.
5. Test the result on your phone.
6. Replace the old URL in bios, signatures and QR codes.

Common mistakes

Do not give ten links identical importance. Avoid vague labels such as “Click here”. Keep the introduction short, test every destination and review your priorities whenever your news changes.
