Page Directory
The public Page Directory at /directory lets visitors discover link-in-bio pages created on FastLinkIt. Page owners opt in to listing their pages, and visitors can browse by category or search.
Listing Your Page
When creating or editing a link-in-bio page, you'll see a Directory card with:
- List this page in the public directory — check this to opt in
- Category — select a category from the admin-managed tree (optional)
Your page will appear in the directory as long as it is listed, active, and not deleted.
Browsing the Directory
The directory page at /directory has three sections:
Category Sidebar
A tree of categories managed by the platform admin. Each category shows a page count badge. Click a category to filter. Click All to show everything.
Child categories are indented under their parent. Selecting a parent category also includes pages in its child categories.
Search
Type in the search bar to filter pages by headline, bio text, title, or short code. Search is debounced (400ms delay) so results update as you type.
Page Cards
Each card shows:
- Logo or initial avatar
- Headline (or short code if no headline)
- Bio (truncated to 2 lines)
- Category badge with icon
- Short URL (e.g.
flnk.it/your-code) - Content warning badge (if the page has a content warning)
Click a card to open the page in a new tab.
Infinite Scroll
The directory loads 20 pages at a time. Scroll to the bottom to automatically load more. The loading stops when there are no more pages.
Content Warning Pages
Pages with content warnings are only visible to registered and logged-in users. Anonymous visitors will not see them in the directory. This is enforced server-side.
For Admins: Managing Categories
Admins manage directory categories at /admin/directory-categories.
Creating a Category
- Click Add Category
- Fill in:
- Name — display name (e.g. "Photography")
- Slug — URL-friendly identifier (auto-generated from name)
- Parent — select a parent to make it a subcategory, or leave as "None" for a root category
- Sort Order — controls display order
- Icon — Bootstrap icon name (e.g.
camera-reels) - Description — optional description
- Click Create
Editing and Deleting
- Click the pencil icon to edit a category
- Click the trash icon to delete — only allowed if no pages are listed in that category
- Click the circle icon to toggle active/inactive — inactive categories are hidden from the directory
Category Tree
Categories support one level of nesting: root categories and child categories. The admin table shows children indented under their parent with a └ prefix.
