Context

Service businesses needed something more useful than a link in bio and less heavy than a website builder. Fingertip became an AI platform for websites, bookings, payments, invoicing, and e-commerce, all of it runnable from a phone.

What I Built

I built the core TypeScript platform: public page runtime, creator editor, theme system, AI page generation, bookings, invoicing, payments, and deploy infrastructure. It grew to 30+ repos on Next.js, Fastify, Prisma and PostgreSQL, BullMQ workers, Connect RPC, and Stripe.

Outcome

Tens of thousands of small businesses in more than 100 countries. Linktree acquired Fingertip in 2025 and the team joined to keep building small-business tools for its creators.

FAQ

Fingertip was an AI-powered platform that helped small businesses create pages, take bookings, accept payments, send invoices, and run more of their business online.

Fingertip was acquired by Linktree in 2025, and the team joined Linktree to work on creator and small-business tools.

Matthew Blode was co-founder and CTO, responsible for the core product and engineering platform.
