The Latest as a Linktree alternative
If you came looking for somewhere to post updates rather than links, this page explains the difference — and why you might want both.
They solve different problems
A link-in-bio page answers “where else can I find you”. It’s a set of destinations. The Latest answers “what’s new” — dated announcements, newest first, on a page people can come back to.
You don’t have to choose. Plenty of people keep a link-in-bio page and add their announcement page to it as one more link. That’s a perfectly good setup, and we’d rather say so than pretend otherwise.
When an announcement page is the better fit
- You post updates often — new work, restocks, release notes — and a list of links has nowhere to put them
- People need to check something before they turn up: opening hours, a closure, an event date
- You want regulars to subscribe rather than keep checking
- You put a QR code on something printed and need the destination to stay current
