Hi All, I just recently launched my site snapy.link its a URL shortener could you feedback the look and function of the site if you have time to register and see what's inside I would appreciate it.

I'm preparing to add SSL this coming week and Social login Facebook, Twitter and Google its just taking time to get the app approval.

Thank you

I visited the site. Looks professional and functional. I'd be tempted to use what's offered at your site if I didn't have my own link shortener. SSL shouldn't be all that hard to add, either. Keep us updated with your progress.

You might want to keep a close eye on what happens if/when urls shortened with your service are posted/shared on FB and IG. They have a tendency to block some shortened links.

Good Luck!

Appreciate your feedback Bertrell I'll keep that in mind. Did you get blocked on those platforms?

I shared links to my domains on one of my pages, and after roughly a year, they were blocked. No clue as to why.

when you say "upgrade later" (under the second "create an account" button) people will think it will require them to upgrade at some point just to continue using the essentials they got for free or that the features of the free version aren't enough and that is the reason why you needed to tell them in advance.

you don't need to tell people that your freemium is a freemium right off the bat.

change the text of the second "create an account" button to "start for free!" are something similar that implies they can start for free without specifying whether it will always stay free and then remove the "Start for free, upgrade later - No credit card required." entirely. if you listen to my advice that is.

and about your logo. it looks fairly classic and therefore has too much contrast from your overall branding which is leaned towards a modern look. dm me if you are interested in a logo design.

ps. since you have a link shortener it might be interesting to you that a one-letter domain was available a few days ago, namely e.ms for only 56 dollars annually. I wished it bought it

Do you have any short domain to go with this service?

Sorry about what happened! The hosting provider was a sham the site went down for several months and just pulled the plug off I tried to recover the dabatase of snapy.link and the provider was not responding even though the plan is for 2 years. The good thing is, I have now acquired a new VPS and hosted a new shortener under the name of quicky.link this will definetely maintained for future. My shortener site now offers multiple domain names, users have the choice to select their preferred domain name from the list to shorten their URLs. I'll sure add more to the list.

Thanks

IMO the domain name isn’t suitable. Max 4 char including extension for link shortners
