Show HN: weakurl.com super simple urlshortner
All this rukus about bit.ly. I tried to make my own url shortener and I am coming for bit.ly. Lol. Looking for some feedback!
- gordian 14y agoNice! Simple and to the point. Also makes very short URLs. How long can that last, though?
- rickchendesign 14y agoLol probably not for along time, What if I just blew away the db every month or so? Leaving dead links everywhere?
- gordian 14y agoDepends on how the links are created. If they traverse combinations as they become available then it could be nice. Right now they may be just adding one random lowercase letter, then when those are all used up they switch to one uppercase letter. Then two character combinations until those are used up, etc., etc. Nice idea...
- akkartik 14y agoI pasted in weakurl.com. Response: weakurl.com/2. Wouldn't it be shorter to just return the url? :D
