Profile

I was looking for a pet project to try out recent additions to https://vercel.com platform, specifically their PostreSQL and Redis offering. They also provide easy to setup wildcard subdomain HTTPS certificates, and since I had yo.link domain lying around for a while, why not use it to create, yes, yet another, URL shortening service, but with a twist...Putting the user-selectable short-code in the subdomain has the advantage that it is the first thing that users read in a URL, and as such it is an opportunity to provide some contextual information about the link.Here are some examples:https://svelte4.yo.link --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOXq89h8saIhttps://hn.yo.link --> https://news.

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
