LinkDeck V1 includes a complete theme and preview workflow for customizing public profiles without code.
Theme and preview features include:
- Default themes stored in the database
- User customizations for theme overrides

- Button styling for solid, glass, and outline styles
- Button radius and shadow controls
- Text styling for title, profile text, bio, and fonts

The same theme data that powers the dashboard preview is used to render the final public /username page.
LinkDeck V1 includes a lightweight event-based analytics system for public profiles and links.
Analytics features include:
- Profile views recorded when visitors open a public profile
- Link clicks tracked through redirect and click endpoints
- CTR calculation based on profile views and total clicks
- Top-performing links ranked by engagement
- Recent activity for profile and link events
- Activity charts powered by dashboard analytics data

AnalyticsEventPrisma model
The analytics system is intentionally focused on useful creator insights: what visitors viewed, what they clicked, and which links are performing best.
