What goes on it

Everything on Terminal is a piece you can change.

  • The your name and face block on Terminal
    Your name and faceAdd your photo, name and a one-line introduction.
  • The ways to reach you block on Terminal
    Ways to reach youEmail, phone, website and location — each one tappable.
  • The one buttonPick the action that matters most: save contact, call, WhatsApp or book.
  • Your social profilesAdd the ones you use; hide any of them with a switch.
  • The links that matter block on Terminal
    Links that matterStack your links in your order — and see which get tapped.
  • Proof in numbersYears, clients, projects — small numbers that build trust.

Only the first two are required. Add, remove and drag the rest into your own order — before or after you publish, your address never changes.

How it works

Yours in three steps.

  1. 01Start from Terminal

    Sign up free and pick this layout — it opens in the editor ready to fill in.

  2. 02Make it yours

    Type over the example details. No design decisions — the layout is already made.

  3. 03Publish and share

    Your page goes live at your own handle. Share the link, or let people scan its QR.

Pick this when

Who Terminal suits.

Software engineers, security people, founders of developer tools, and open-source maintainers. The joke lands with exactly the audience it is meant for.

Hierarchy

What it puts first.

A typed whois command, a dithered portrait in phosphor green and your name in a glowing pixel face. Contact rows come back as ls output, links as cat output, and save is a bracketed command.

Straight answer

Where Terminal is the wrong choice.

Warmth, and some readability. Everything is monospace and the photo is dithered to one colour, so a face-first or client-facing card will feel colder than it should. Scanlines and a flicker are part of the look.

Before you start

The questions everyone asks.

Is the Terminal template free?
Yes. Pick it, add your details and publish at your own handle — building and publishing a page is free.
Can I switch to another template later?
Yes. A template is a layout over your content, so you can move to any other contact card layout whenever you like — nothing gets retyped and your link never changes.
Do I need a website or hosting?
No. Your page is hosted for you at your own handle — nothing to install, nothing to maintain.
Will it work on a phone?
Yes. The page is built phone-first and opens in any browser — the people you share it with don't need an app.
