Last big project at my old job was for an appointment notification service. In addition to making messages longer and thus costing us more, counterintuitively the unshortened URLs got flagged as spam by automated systems and end users more than shortened. However, you can’t use bitly or other free/public shorteners; use one hosted on your own domain. I used shlink https://shlink.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

IF you just want to setup an internal link shortener, there is software out there for it. We do it at my company. The best one I've found is Shlink: https://shlink.io/. Source: 12 months ago

I have just set up shlink.io via /r/portainer and docker-compose. Now I have tried opening the CLI to generate an API key which I need for the shlink web interface but unfortunately it closes in a fraction of a second after bin/cli, showing all available arguments. Source: about 1 year ago

Are you looking for stable HTTP/S URLs that you can publish for others to access? One solution to that might be to purchase your own domain and host a little redirector service that bounces the consumer to the real, currently active, cloud URL. Something like https://shlink.io/ might work (but I’ve not used it, and that’s just a suggestion not a recommendation!). Source: over 1 year ago

Need to post some links in a small amount of space? You're going to want Shlink (code). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

Can anyone give me their opinion on https://www.ka-writing.com/ and https://scribemedia.com/? Source: over 2 years ago

Https://scribemedia.com/ <--- this place used to be called Book in a Box and at least back then was charging $10k to basically take all of your ideas and organize them for you in a publishable format. I'm sure there are other outfits that also provide that same service. Source: about 3 years ago
