Show HN: Rndmlnk – TinyURL creator that randomly selects the target from a list
- elwell 11y agoWas going to say "Should have A/B style stats", but you already did it. I might find a use for this...
- frenchie4111 11y agoPlanned additional features are: Custom weighting (80% here, 20% there), CSV Files (Or newline separated, depending), Round-robin option, instead of the current full random
- frenchie4111 11y agoCreator here: A marketting buddy of mine wanted a scrappy way to redirect participants to one of 5 surveys, so I whipped this together for him.
- charlieegan3 11y agoThis is cool, looks nice too. Similar to a little app I have set as my homepage: https://github.com/charlieegan3/coincidental/blob/master/web.rb https://github.com/charlieegan3/coincidental/blob/master/web... (http://coincidental.herokuapp.com/ http://coincidental.herokuapp.com/)
- frenchie4111 11y agoThanks! That's a cool homepage. I might have to steal that idea :-)
- charlieegan3 11y agoEnjoy!
- frenchie4111 11y agoMade it here, doesn't have the same weighting yours does, stay tuned for that feature in Rndmlnk: http://rndmlnk.com/s/random_hompage http://rndmlnk.com/s/random_hompage
- virulent 11y agoThis is pretty nice. I was curious how the spread was like for multiple links: http://www.rndmlnk.com/counts/testredirect2 http://www.rndmlnk.com/counts/testredirect2 side note, it was fun to see what the max redirects is in Chrome with the redirect loop.
- frenchie4111 11y agoWas it 1000 :-P Also I should probably stop it from referencing itself
- virulent 11y agonot anymore :(
- RKearney 11y agoFor what it's worth, the short urls you generate are http://rndmlnk.com/s/<whatever> http://rndmlnk.com/s/<whatever> but requests to rndmlnk.com 302 redirect to www.rndmlnk.com. This adds an unnecessary redirect.
- epicmosquito 11y agoAnother use case: as a simple load balancer.
- frenchie4111 11y agoThank you!
- jakeogh 11y agoA way to control the probability of each link would be useful.
