Debuto

What it does

Debuto turns one link into a whole page. You build it from blocks — a profile header, links, a gallery or portfolio, a CV, music and video, a menu, events, booking and order requests, a shop — and put them on a theme with a motion style, a video background if you want one, and a QR code that really scans. There are 84 starting templates by profession, from artist and photographer to architect, interior designer, restaurant and barber, and every one can be tried in a demo without signing up. It also connects to my other products: the QR codes are made with QR Code Harbor, with tracked (dynamic) codes on paid plans; a Letturia block shows your own reading shelf once you have proved the account is yours; and there is a link card for Teach Me Chess. It works in 12 languages. The free plan covers one page; paid plans are priced but not open yet.

Why I built it

I make a lot of different things: buildings and interiors, charcoal portraits, digital art, photographs, software. What annoyed me was that they have no single home; each lives on its own platform with its own look. I wanted a page that could hold all of them and still look as if one person had made it.

It started in March 2026 as a small link-in-bio prototype, and for months it was just that. In October I decided to turn it into a proper product I could launch and charge for, and that is when it got its name. It was called Mostra first, then renamed Debuto a few days later because another app in the same category already had that name. The first real page I built on it was my own: I rebuilt my Linktree on Debuto, and I wrote a motion theme for it that borrows from architectural drawing — lines that draw in, cards like drawing sheets. I also had three products of my own that each needed a front door, and a page that can hold a reading shelf, a chess link and a QR code in the same place is that front door.

What I learned

A page that shows work has to be judged by whether it makes the work look good, not by how many features it has. Most of the effort went into the things you only notice when they are wrong: spacing, type, how an image crops, whether the page looks finished before any script has run.

The second lesson was about names. I built the whole product under one name, then discovered that a competitor with the same name in the same category made it unsafe to launch, so I changed it mid-flight. Check the name before you design the logo.
