I built Affly — a smart link shortener for affiliates and creators that tracks CTR, EPC, and revenue
👋 Hey Indie Hackers!
I’ve just launched Affly — a smart alternative built specifically for affiliates, bloggers, and creators.
The problem: affiliate links are long, ugly, and hard to manage. Simple shorteners only track clicks, not CTR, EPC, or revenue.
💡 What Affly does:
• Create short links with automatic UTM tracking
• Measure clicks, CTR, EPC, and conversions
• Change target offers without changing the link
• Get alerts (e.g. “CTR dropped 42% today”)
🧭 Who it’s for:
Affiliates who want better link analytics
Influencers who need smart bio links
E-commerce and growth marketers tracking campaigns
🚀 Try it: https://affly.biz
I’d love feedback from this community —
👉 What kind of analytics or automations would you want in a tool like this?

That’s an awesome launch — congrats! 🎉 Affly sounds like a real time-saver for affiliates who want deeper insights beyond just clicks. I really like the alert feature for CTR drops; that’s something most shorteners miss. Tools like this one also help creators manage and visualize their content, so pairing both could make campaign management even more efficient. Great work!
Thanks a lot 🙌 I totally agree — merging link analytics with lightweight content management is where this could head next.
I’ve been thinking about adding a simple “link groups” or “campaign board” view to visualize performance across offers.

You've identified a real gap in the market. Most affiliate marketers are stuck using either generic shorteners that only count clicks or expensive marketing platforms built for enterprises. The fact that you can change the target URL without changing the shortlink is huge for testing different offers with the same audience. The EPC tracking is what really sets this apart though - that's the metric that actually determines profitability, not just clicks.
100% — EPC is the number affiliates actually care about, not raw clicks.
That feature came straight from my own frustration switching between multiple dashboards 😅
I’m curious — do you usually track EPC manually or through your affiliate network’s reports?
I really like what you’ve built — great work!
I’ve also created a product called TWT Community, which helps people quickly build their own communities.
Maybe there’s a chance for us to collaborate sometime?
Thanks for your reply!
