Great idea. Congrats on the release! A couple of suggestions: - An API to generate shortened URLs automatically would be great. - Some mechanism for supporting custom domain names. Say, someone has a link shortener service with a decent amount of traffic. Both shrtn.co and the shortener owner would benefit greatly from an API/custom domain combo.

There is currently a very basic api in place @ http://shrtn.co/api/*your-url* http://shrtn.co/api/*your-url* Custom domain names are a great idea. Thanks for the feedback!

  Awesome! Is it possible to authenticate using my shrtn username? The current API generates links using shrtn's own affiliate codes.

    We're currently working on a REST based API with authentication. Release should be in within the next two weeks.
