What if the url already has been shortened and didn't expire ?
Then the expiration time will be reset and the shortcode will remain the same.
What are your pros ?
Well not much for the moment but some updates might add some:
- No Ads on Redirect
- 301 Redirect (Better for SEO)
- Quick “Share” link for Twitter.
Can I create a permanent URL ?
Not yet, each URL get deleted after 1 week actually but when account system will be implemented only URLs created under a account will be permanent. You will have the ability to manage them on a dashboard(delete & enable/disable).
Will you implement a custom slug ?
It might not get added to avoid some abuses. If it get added it might be a premium feature.
Example: "https://this.ovh/customslug" while a normal random one would be "https://this.ovh/rhhUYk".
Do you have an API ?
Not yet, it might get added if the service grow.
Do you have a Software/Browser Extension for fast-use ?
Not yet, a open-source Software might be released with the API. For Browser Extensions it's not sure yet.
