Hey Product Hunt, I’m Sélim, co-founder and CEO at Bento. Today, we are super excited to launch Bento, your personal page to show everything you are, create, and sell. 🍱 ✨ We’ve worked on it for the past few months in close collaboration with the early Bento community, and now we feel ready to show it to all of you! For the next 48h we are thrilled to onboard the product hunt community. 🥳 Use the Invite Code: PHXBENTO23 ..and be quick -the good user names are still up for grabs ... also, the code has a finite counter 🤫 🍱 The main idea At Bento, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful personal page to showcase themselves in the best light – everything they are, create, and sell. We see you and your content as the star, and Bento is the stage. You perform, and Bento sets the lights and pulls the curtain. We help the internet focus on what matters – you. ✨ With that – let’s talk about your audience, the spectators. We feel strongly about helping you build, grow, and connect with your audience and peers. We do that by helping you tell a differentiated, inspiring, and coherent story – this helps create delightful viewing experiences and more engaging communication with your audiences and peers. In that sense, Bento helps to establish context around you, your work, your socials, and all other relevant content you decide to show. Ultimately, our vision is to deliver more communication and social features to make Bento the stage you deserve and help you get all the exposure . 🐥 🍱 The Bento Experience Bento’s design helps in creating beautiful and consistent viewing experiences and at the same time makes it fun and delightful to create. Simply drag-and-drop photos, videos, products, or socials links. 🧙 Start dragging, resizing, or showing your links and content in rich detail. With Bento, your links become much more than line items; they are beautiful and can have deep platform integrations to help you show your personality at one glance. Also, we believe it’s fun – as hobby game developers, we paid particular attention to physics and making movement of objects as smooth as possible. 🎮 🍱 What sets Bento apart We focus on personalization and customizability while keeping a consistent appearance for the viewer. You can add: 🪄 any links you like. Literally. Not just platforms – anything. Be creative. 🤳 any pictures, videos, or gifs. - even as avatars. Try it. 🎨 fully customizable link previews. 🤯 smart widgets for several different platforms, such as: Tweet embeds, subscribe for Substack, or show the latest videos for YouTube, or a quick upvote for ProductHunt ;) And the best part – it’s all free. 🍱 What’s to come In line with helping anyone have a beautiful and consistent personal page to show how they are and their work we will focus on audience and social-focused features next. Bento 1.0 was all about profile creation and curation. Bento 2.0 will be all about audience engagement and networking. 👨🏻‍💻 People have been saying we ship fast – stay tuned, we’re not going to slow down!

Jackson Dahl
elegant, simple, good constraints. can imagine lots of ways it gets even better, e.g. live cards and so forth. excited to see where it goes and big fan.
Sélim Benayat
@jacksondahl Jackson - thanks so much for the feedback and kind note! Love your thinking around "live cards" - as we are thinking a lot about "dynamic content", what would be something you'd like to see? 📝😊
Antoine Plu
Love the simplicity and flexibility of Bento. It's a fun new product Congrats on the launch team 👏🏼🔥
Valerie Krämer
@antoineplu glad you like it, Antoine!! A lot more to come! 😻✨
iNilay
Awesome tool. It's definitely not the first, but looks to be the best and pretty simple to use. Still cant figured out how some people have this embedded Maps pointers but hopefully will find soon. Good Luck.
Valerie Krämer
@nilsej We definitely strive for the best! 😻🔥 the maps feature is something we're still working on! many have uploaded an image instead - looks quite nice. Check out bento.me/explore ✨
fred aka (Beasty)
Awesome product ! and what a team! proud to be in the bento box! @drmanhatta @eikedrescher
Sélim Benayat
@eikedrescher @beastydesign Freeeed!! We couldn't be happier to have you as an early and inspiring Bento user! Your insights and feedback have shaped our thinking!
Bastian Ernst (wildmetrics.io)
just signed-up and tried it out (also to claim my Bento url haha) nice job guys! I like that it is simple and beautiful!
Valerie Krämer
@bastian_ernst very cool!! Which URL did you catch? 😻 would love to see your Bento!!
Eike Drescher
@bastian_ernst Thanks, Bastian! :)
Milan Jovanović
I love this!!! Only thing I would change is getting to make my bento while INSIDE of bento. So, instead of the wizard at the beginning, which I honestly skipped so I could just get to see what bento is, I was hoping for some campsite-like in-app onboarding that lets me make my bento while I'm at my profile page. Also, I'd love to see some popular bento pieces I might like to add in a click (twitter, for example, or my CV link from read.cv or linkedin) already offered, so I don't have to click the + icon and then think hmmm which link am I going to paste now... these are my first impressions, but overall I LOVE it!!!! Can't wait to share it.
Valerie Krämer
@pontifexmaximu5 thank you so much for taking the time to add your thoughts, Milan. Super valuable! Currently most people go through the onboarding immediately, but it's a good point and feedback that we should also improve the adding experience afterwards. Love your suggestions overall! We'll explore 🥰✨
This might be one of my favorite link in bio builders to date. Amazing experience, super easy, intuitive, and the design is suuppper clean. Appreciate the early access and looking forward to seeing how the builder evolves. Congrats on the launch ?makers!
Valerie Krämer
@gabe sooo sooo happy to hear!! We tried something different and so happy you like the concept! 💜
@valerie_kramer yeee! Joined the discord and excited to explore different ways to use it :)
Eike Drescher
@gabe thank you so much Gabe, so nice to hear :)
Daniel Gardner
Just when you think all links are the same, along comes Bento. Impressed!
Valerie Krämer
@daniel_gardner ouf!!! Thank you so much for your kind words, Daniel! 😻

I have been using BENTO for several weeks as my catch-all linkinbio and I love the look and feel, you can check it out: https://bento.me/rphgrc. Congrats to the team ! Keep pushing and shipping like crazy
Valerie Krämer
@rphgrc you and your Bento are stars, Raph!! Thanks for all your amazing support ❤️‍🔥 Check out bento.me/rphgrc ✨
Eike Drescher
@rphgrc Thanks for your support, Raph! Your Bento looks sick 👌
Kai Gradert
The onboarding and UX is very smooth. Nicely done 👏👏
Valerie Krämer
@kaigradert we paid a lot of attention to a smooth and delightful onboarding experience. So happy you like it 💜
Kai Gradert
@valerie_kramer Love it. Also appreciate that you have different layouts and order for desktop/mobile.
Dominic Mueller
@drmanhatta Cool idea and very intuitive UI. Congrats! Are you planning to embed more interactive content? I tried a Tweet and a TikTok, but it just showed me a screenshot instead of the actual Tweet/Video. iframely.com for example has a great API with over 1900 publishers. Would make Bento even richer... 😉
Sélim Benayat
@dmuellr haha love it! Yes, we are thinking along these lines for sure!! 👋🥰
Enes Aktaş

Valerie Krämer
@drmanhatta @indrakusumasp Thank you so much!!! We're all about 'show, don't tell' 💜✨
Liam Forsyth
Was very lucky to get early access to Bento and loved it! The team give such great vibes and they always want to hear from us who use the product! Love the recent addition of adding in videos and mobile editor - both I am putting to good use! Noticed their automatic open graph images as well! So many updates in such a short period, love the energy that shows!
Eike Drescher
@liamdforsyth Thank you Liam, we have so many ideas that need to get out there! haha
Valerie Krämer
@liamdforsyth thank you so much, Liam and so happy you noticed all the latest updates!! We've been working hard on shipping fast and high quality updates to our wonderful community 💜
Adham Dannaway
Nice usage of the bento 🍱 UI pattern. Flexible, scalable, and looks great too. Perfect for personal web pages 👍
Eike Drescher
@adhamdannaway that‘s exactly what we tried to achieve, so nice to see it felt that way to you, Adham!
