The reason why we avoid short URLs is knowing they will be broken after two years, often even less than that.
Since you are using nostr, the chance that the short URLs can be backup to some relay is high. How can the short URLs keep working even when your domain goes down one day?
Thanks.
How can URL keep working even if w3.do is down one day? The same reason how your nostr accounts, followers and notes can persist even if iris or Damus or amethyst is down. As long as the relays contains the data, itβs persist.
W3.do is just a client.
got custom shorterner?

Button difficult to press on mobile, long url text overflows.
I am wondering if it should have a disclaimer that the data is stored publicly, i.e. the URLs you shorten can be seen by anyone and linked to your pubkey.
So, about the βlinked you your pub keyβ.. there is anonymous way and (just deployed) the βlink to pubkeyβ way.
If you tested it just now, itβs using the anonymous method, where itβs signed by this random key that I created.
Very nice. You could also charge for vanity short links.
Wow... This is great! π«
Nice domain!
Suggestions:
* Slow the domain after the shortlink creation for reference
* Add a way to create a new link without reloading
* As already said, deterministic shortlinks are a better option (they also reduce the possibility of a collision)
Got you.
Whatβs the first point about?
Convalidation.
After the generation you can double check that the domain is correct. A little more text improves the design too, imho. Ex. "nostr.com has been shortened to:".
Another thing: I would not use the same input element for user input and place to put the result; it is a UX useful when there are space constraints, here you have a lot of room and you can keep the input on the bottom for the next conversion.
Great feedback man!
Works well with a URL. I also noticed that you can shorten a npub without a url prefix π πͺ
Minor suggestion for improvement:
