maybe add an icon, that when you click on, it automatically pastes from your clipboard.
would improve the phone browser UX

Awesome. Once you basic add analytics there's no need to use bit.ly.

How private is it? Who can see the mapping?
this is going to be so freaking useful !
The two links inline might be a bit tight. It can lead to one of them jumping to the next line.
🥲
If you don’t sign in with your key, no one knows who created the link.
Nice! If I deployed this to another domain people's links would still work right?
Yes. There are more than one live websites right now hosting this tool.
This is neat
Works flawlessly! It would be nice to add a "copy to clipboard" icon in the existing links perhaps just before the trash can icon or at the beginning of the row.
Great catch! The dash break the line. Fixed
Much needed

Logo Idea that integrates:
- link icon
- a W and a 3
- the purple pill
- egg = the birth of something smaller
Also works pretty well in the input bar.

Who can see the http referrer data showing the site where a user clicked the shortened link? w3.do domain owner?
No one can see who clicked/opened on which shortened links.
Right, but the metadata about where a shortened link was posted (inferred via the http referrer data when someone clicks it), that’s still visible to you right?
Not sure what you refer to.
Codes are open source.
Its not complicated, and I don’t care who link to what URL. Most links are created anonymously, as anyone can create links without a nostr key.

is it live?
Sweet!
For an example: SimpleX has very large ugly address links, I’d like to use a shortener. My simplex link, used directly, doesn’t link to any personally identifiable info. Next I put it through a link shortener.
But the link shortener service can collect metadata on where I’ve posted the shortened link. Say I posted it on my dating profile; now when someone clicks the link, the w3.do operator can see my dating profile url as the originating page when the link is followed. My main concern, being nostr based, is this metadata able to be seen by anyone on the nostr network who looks? Or just the w3.do domain owner/admin? Or neither somehow?
How can we stop the leaking of the origination page url from the process of using a link shortener?
Yea it should be. It might be cached on your closest CDN or your device.
Being a shortener tool, cache for speed is 🔥🔥🔥
Na it doesn’t collect “where you posted the link”, any website operator cannot see your URLs. There isn’t any metadata of that type collected.
The only thing that is collected is this combination of data:
- which pubkey sign in (if you didn’t sign in, it’s using a common key)
- what URL (thats the long string)
- what’s the short ID (that’s the short string)
- date of creation
thank you very much.
