To explain what this application is would be this.
But all jokes aside, this is a replica of no longer running shoutkey.com but still another URL shorter, but the extra steps can be handy and useful for some. These extra steps are.
- You can add an expiration to the URL, meaning how long you want the URL to exist on the site
- After creating a shortened URL, it tells you whether it is secure or not and informs you what other sites will redirect to (only final URL)
- You can report keys, and message will be collected and sent to GitHub issues
- You can send feedback to report bugs, give some feedback on to improve the site, and any abuse that you might notice on the application. Any feedback sent will create an issue on GitHub
Here is the change log for the service
