Tinbo – yet another (modern) link shortener Hi folks I've started this project years ago as an "exercise" and it stalled completely very soon, for years due to various reasons. But recently i've decided that it was worth a shot to actually make something useful out of it and show to the world. Yep, the world that's already full of link shorteners\link management software\branded links services\etc. I realise that there's a lot of established options in this space and I clearly realise that there's no "moat" in software like this nowadays, but it feels really great to see not yet another tombstone in my graveyard of started-and-never-finished projects, but a publicly available tool, that can be used by people. While working on it, i've realised that a "link shortener" nowadays is much more than fitting a long link in a message or whatever. It can actually be a fun tool to o̶v̶e̶r̶-̶e̶n̶g̶i̶n̶e̶e̶r̶ build, while you're exploring all the areas it can be used in. If you'll find it useful for your project/job - I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on any aspect of it, let me know.
