So yeah. Lately I've been messing around with Google API's and decided that we should make our own shortener.

So if you know javascript, maybe you could help! big_smile

There's already a bunch of URL shorteners. Like tinyurl.

EDIT: Lol, completely unnessecary bump.

I know, but with this one, we could add extra functionality.

Stuff like:

custom name
decrypter (taking a short url and then posting the long url)
and others.

I've done this and have this code in php + database. You have two choices random url or increment url. Plus you will need a short domain name.

The decrypter sounds a little useful.

Don't really get the "custom name", though. What are you naming?

The url. Instead of 'name.com/k234n234k', it would be 'name.com/hello'

it sounds nice, but what if two people wanted to name theirs the same thing?

(also, this topic inspired me to learn HTML.)

Wow, big_smile But this would include PHP and Javascript. But HTML is a good start. wink

I'll help some. I would offer my website, but the url is too long (escratch.org)

veggieman001 · 2011-08-20 11:07:15

I just use h77p.tk.

Okay, thanks! big_smile I think we may use .tk for the free-ness. Cause I wouldn't want to have to pay for something no one checks out. tongue
