I may well end up adding a captcha of some sort. However, that effectively means I can't have a public "create a DecentURL" API call like I do now -- they'd have to sign up and have an API key or something. That's a bit of a bummer.
- duskwuff 18y agoThe utility of an API for this sort of service is honestly pretty limited. If you're doing things right, most of your links should be getting created by casual users (for pasting into chat/email/twitter) - it's not too much of a hassle for them to hit your site and fill out a form.
