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!

Impressive launch - this looks like a great way to showcase yourself and your work. I'm curious, what was the impetus behind making Bento free? What is the long-term plan for monetization?
Sélim Benayat
@heyumarkhan Hey there - thanks for the question. One of our product principles we're following is to allow anyone to have a beautiful and delightful personal page! We can't do that if we start charging for that. So what we are currently thinking is to take a small fee for transactions that might start happening on Bento. Meaning if we help our users make more money, it feels fair to take a small commission from that :)
Greg Gotsis
@heyumarkhan @drmanhatta How have you thought about the payments space? What commerce experiences do you think would be valued in Bento? Shopify comes to mind :)

Denis Galka
Hey there! Congrats on the recent launch of Bento on the Product Hunt! 🎉 Looks very interesting. I decided to try. But I faced an issue. On the "Now, create your account" screen there is an error message "Invite code cannot be redeemed." displays when you filed all necessary fields and try to proceed. I used the PHXBENTO23 invite code. Please fix it
Valerie Krämer
@denis_galka Oh no, thanks for reporting and sorry about that! We're looking into it right now so that you can get a taste of Bento as soon as possible 💜✨
Denis Galka
@valerie_kramer It's ok, no worries. Things happen. Just let me know when you'll fix it.
Valerie Krämer
@denis_galka will do!
Valerie Krämer
@denis_galka Fixed! Go to bento.me/signup?ref=producthunt and try again :) let me know if you need any further help.
Valerie Krämer
@denis_galka Great to hear! 💜

Justin Rockmore
This is great and I almost immediately switched from hoo.be to Bento when I saw this in the AM. Question though - any plans for native newsletter subscription or influencer 'fundraising'? Two fantastic features that are allowing hoo.be to corner the larger influencer market.
Sélim Benayat
@justin_rockmore Justin - thanks so much for coming over!! Lovely to have you 🥰🥹 And thanks so much for the brilliant insight and feedback! Our vision at Bento is to empower makers to find and profit from new opportunities. Let us start thinking about it! 📝
