The project OPN started as an experiment back in 2022.
I just wanted a simple way to manage short links with a bit more control than most services offer.
Over time, it evolved into something bigger.
Core features:
• Regular short links
• Branded links (opn.pm/brand)
• Zones (opn.pm/zone)
• Private links inside zones (opn.pm/zone/link)
• Traffic monitoring
• Optional password protection
Additional features:
• UTM support
• Click limits
• Link expiration
• Ability to enable feedback per link or zone
• Anonymous reports
• QR code generation
• Using the main zone as a bookmarks list
• noindex / nofollow control for bots
One thing I experimented with is link commands - you can append them directly to a URL:
:qr - generate a QR code
:feedback - send a message to the owner
:report - anonymous report
:logout - deauthorize a protected link or zone
I’m curious what you think about this approach - especially zones and link commands.
Would love to hear any feedback or ideas.
