There's a ton of great examples here: https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener

We're also working on the open-source link management platform at https://dub.co – feel free to give it a try!

Re:Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available on Thursday July 18, 2024 @06:17PM (#41000272)
This is perfect timing – we just launched a free branded successor to goo.gl today: https://ggl.link

You can use it to shorten your:

- Google Drive links - Google Docs links - Google Forms links - Google Sheets links

To prevent abuse, we restrict this to google.com URLs only (docs.google.com, drive.google.com, etc.)

Would love for you guys to give it a try and let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for the feedback here! Our privacy policy hasn't been updated in a while and we'll definitely improve it with your feedback – sorry about the wording here!
I know HN frowns upon sappy positive comments, but I have to say:

I have been using Midday for a few months now and it's been an incredible experience – from the "ask AI" feature to the product notifications, every part of this product is crafted with tender loving care (TLC).

The fact that they're fully open-source and self-hostable is just cherry on top :D

thanks, this is super helpful – reminds me of Stripe Connect / Stripe's pricing model. Love it!
we're doubling down on integrations this coming quarter at Dub.co so this is perfect timing – how would pricing work for Pipedream connect?
sure! Here's how we used the Dub TypeScript SDK for this project:

1. Creating/editing links – dub.links.create and dub.links.update: https://git.new/UrBg1z5

2. Fetching the time-series analytics for a given link – http://dub.analytics.timeseries: https://git.new/Rkio6cN

LMK if you have any questions/feedback about the SDK: https://git.new/sdk

Great choice to go with Rust for the implementation!

one of the best articles around DX philosophy I've read all year.

also, love the attention to detail – tapping "D" and "X" keys toggles the animation in the hero :)

Hey Hacker News!

Spent the weekend writing an in-depth, interactive article about our Product Hunt launch last week – hope y'all find it useful. Let me know if you have any questions!
