Most messengers are hosted for you on a single corporate server. Your name, your contacts, your files — all inside someone else’s database.

Linkiny flips that: every user gets their own subdomain (e.g. alice.linkiny.com) that they own. Their chats, blog, marketplace listings, and files live under that subdomain. The app, the API, the public page — same URL.

You can host your own node. You can move. You can run Linkiny on a $5 VPS. You can federate with other nodes, share content, and talk to people on different servers without friction.

It’s email, but alive: realtime chat, voice, video, presence — federated, encrypted, ownable.

The rest of this section explains how we got here and where we’re going.
