Show HN: Masked.link – A Stateless Link Shortener
- rurban 7y agoNeat trick!
- gitgud 7y agoNice! This looks like a similar idea to [1] Zero Width Shortner, except you can actually see the characters! [1] https://zws.im/ https://zws.im/
- step7750 7y agoThanks for linking that! It looks like zws is using Firebase as a backend store to save the links while this just encodes it into the unicode. I wonder if there's enough valid whitespace characters to store a meaningful amount of bits in...
- ibarrajo 7y agoManaged to have -12% compression rate =D Couldn't copy and paste the link, it takes forever https://pastebin.com/e8ivtyev https://pastebin.com/e8ivtyev
- TimLeland 7y agoNeat idea but impossible to type unless I am missing something. I built a url shortener using hashids https://t.ly/ https://t.ly/
