[Feature]: Add link click analytics — track redirect counts per platform link with a simple dashboard view

[divyanshim27]

Summary

LinkID routes visitors from linkid.qzz.io/username/platform to their actual platform profile URL. Currently this redirect happens silently with no tracking — users have no visibility into how many times each of their links has been clicked, which platforms are getting the most traffic, or when those clicks occurred.

Problem

• There is no click tracking on the platform redirect handler (app/[username]/[platform]/page.tsx).
• Users cannot measure the effectiveness of sharing their LinkID — they don't know if anyone is actually using their /github or /linkedin links.
• The real-time dashboard mentioned in the README has no analytics dimension.
• Competitor products (Linktree, Bento) all provide click analytics as a baseline feature.

Proposed Solution

Database change (Prisma schema):

model LinkClick {
  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
  linkId    String
  link      Link     @relation(fields: [linkId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  clickedAt DateTime @default(now())
  referrer  String?

  @@index([linkId])
  @@index([clickedAt])
}

Server-side (redirect handler):
Log a click record in the background when the redirect fires — non-blocking, so it does not add latency to the redirect.

Dashboard UI:

• Add a "Clicks" column to the link list showing total click count per link.
• Add a simple chart (using Recharts or a CSS-only bar visualization) showing clicks over the last 7 days per platform.
• Add a total profile views counter.

API:

• GET /api/analytics/summary — returns total clicks, clicks per link, and a time-series for the last 7/30 days.

I am happy to implement this including the Prisma migration, API route, and dashboard UI. Could you please assign this issue to me?
