Another one? I know!
You have so many out there but when I look for a URL shortener that I can use to shorten 5000+ links using an API, I couldn't find any that were reasonably priced.
As a software engineer myself, I couldn't understand why Bitly, Short.io and others charge $100+ per month and still don't give you their full suite of features.
URL shorteners is like the "Hello World" of SaaS and surely it can be that expensive to host.
Within 3 days, I was able to build a URL shortener with all the features that the others have and host it on Azure for less than $100 per month.
*Features*
