The link shortening API

July 28, 2021 First commit

Some would say you shouldn’t start building a web app with the marketing site. Others would say you shouldn’t start a sentence with “but”. But starting with marketing let me define a vision for the product.

Today I started building the marketing website for Linkbar and I made my first commit.

July 26, 2021 The idea for Linkbar is born

Linkbar solves a problem one of my clients has come across: when you want to create lots of short URLs (more than about 100 a day) it gets very expensive with the popular services like Bitly or TinyUrl.

Linkbar is the link shortening API when you need to create a lot of short URLs (like sending a unique link to each user).

The popular link shorteners (Bitly, TinyUrl) are surprisingly expensive when you need to create more than about 100 links a day. Linkbar is the answer when you need to automatically (API) create lots of short URLs.
