linkin currently supports hosting in vercel and heroku platforms. you have to connect LinkIn with your own Postgres database instance and start making your link tree. LinkIn currently supports fonts from a external url (example - google fonts) , icons from fontawesome , and avatar image from external url (example - cloudinary ) .

I have some experience in web dev. can I customize it on my own ?

Yes. LinkIn has a single component for the link tree. so you can add your own styles that LinkIn doesn't support and create your very own link tree.

LinkIn is in pretty early stages so you might find some hiccups along the way .you can visit linkin Github repo and create issues.
