Link Shortener
Hosted short-link tool with anonymous expiring URLs, permanent signed-in aliases, and click tracking.
Problem
Throwaway links are noisy, hard to track, and awkward to share once they need stable aliases or click visibility.
Approach
The tool keeps anonymous sharing simple while upgrading signed-in users to permanent short codes, now running inside a dedicated small-webapps service that still reuses shared portfolio auth identities.
Highlights
- Anonymous links resolve under /l/{uuid} with automatic expiry.
- Signed-in users can mint permanent 5-character /s/{code} links.
- Built-in dashboard lists owned links, clicks, and delete actions.
