I’ve been working on a SaaS tool that combats link rot for writers. The service periodically checks the original sources and redirects broken links to the archive.org snapshot automatically when the sources fail. Any redirection can be customized or fall back to an author’s website. The usual problem is that anything that is supposed to prevent link rot itself is prone to rot. Which is why my SaaS solution has a self-off boarding function: writers can use custom domains for their links and export a fully functional nginx and Apache-based redirection config file at any time. I also have a contingency plan for the next decade, which includes setting up such a low cost redirection server myself. I needed this service for my own books. So I just built it. Dogfooding is what I recommend to Bootstrapper’s anyway, so I am my first customer. It’s highly reliable (it’s a 301 forwarding system after all) and very cheap to host.
