Show HN: Wrapulous – A simple link shortening and click tracking API
- fiatjaf 12y agoNice thing, but why is this better than bit.ly and similar services? Will it handle hundreds of clicks per second?
- nbrempel 12y agoI think bit.ly is certainly a more robust API. My goal here was to create something extremely easy to use and also learn a bit in the process.
- fiatjaf 12y agoI like the basic auth in the URL. I've always thought that websites should use less sign up forms and more quick easy solutions like this.
- nbrempel 12y agoThanks! Yeah, I definitely wanted to lower the barrier as much as possible.

- nbrempel 12y agoNo, but I will. Thanks!
