Show HN: I built Multy – Generate a short URL to share a list of websites

Thank you for your report, I'll try to fix the issues you mentioned. For the last one, it takes some times because I verify the metadata from the URLs, and check if the website exists. I don't know if it's a good idea but this is how it works right now. And this is why you see the target url with a 301.

I don't want users to do link cloaking on Multy and if people click on something on Multy, they are aware of where they're going. This is why I do that, and this is why I also want to integrate a domain blacklist.

Are there publicly available domain blacklists? I am curious on you would implement such a thing. Would you care to share?

Well, I am looking for this type of tool since this morning ^^

I found several BL, mostly for email spam protection but:

http://uribl.com/ https://www.spamhaus.org/

The difficulty is to found how to work with the database and check each URI.

I found some packages on npm like this one : https://www.npmjs.com/package/dnsbl-lookup

But I have to test it thoroughly before putting it into production.
