It's almost perfect for a url shortener, even with custom urls if paired with the kv store. Trivial, I know, but go look at what some people pay for these services.
- paulgb 5y agoSimilar to URL shorteners, I've had cases where I wanted to allow users to create a “share link” that persists data in an app that otherwise didn't have persistence. Typically I've used a Lambda job that uploads to a public S3 bucket, but next time it comes up I plan to try Workers.
- chocolatkey 5y agoI've actually used it to bypass inherent (imo) shortcomings in Firebase dynamic links. And add custom functionality, such as allowing for single-letter query strings to append utm parameters (?t -> utm_source twitter). I also didn't want the smart detection it tries to use for mobile devices with its JS-enabled page, so the worker scrapes the correct URL from the page as well
