Shodl
Link Management Platform
I built Shodl — a production-ready link management platform that goes beyond simple URL shortening.
It started as a personal project to build something complete and real, not just a tutorial clone. The result is a fully functional system with conversion tracking, redirect analytics, password protected links, expiration dates, custom slug generation, admin panel, and full JWT authentication including password reset.
Under the hood it runs on AWS (ECS + ECR + ALB) managed via Terraform, Flask backend with 80%+ test coverage, React + MUI frontend.
The system is live at shodl.io and already findable on Google — just search "shodl" and it comes up.
As a solo developer I've reached the point where taking it to the next level requires marketing resources and time I don't currently have. So I've decided to list it for sale rather than shut it down.
If you're a developer or marketer looking for a solid foundation to build a SaaS business on — without starting from scratch — this might be for you.
Listed on Flippa for $4,999. Happy to answer any questions.

What stood out to me is that this is less about link management and more about owning the tracking layer of outbound traffic. Most link tools focus on shortening or organizing URLs, but the real value is in understanding downstream behavior—what happens after the click, not just the click itself. If Shodl consistently becomes a decision layer for outbound traffic rather than just infrastructure, that’s a stronger position than a traditional link tool.
Thank you for your feedback!
