Slsh.us
Slash Your URLs

[Home] [FAQ] [API] [Changelog]
I made a simple URL shortener at slsh.us and all it requires is a long URL and it'll give you a short URL 😁
It also has an API that you can make remote calls to! Learn more about it here!
Please post below if you have any questions or suggestions for the site!

Just a service for people who would like to use it. I make no money off of it, so it' just a tool for people to use for free if they need it.

Why captcha? goo.gl don't have captcha and its also free, why you don't make it free like google? no captchas..

That is nice, but in what case would a person need this ? I can't imagine. Can you give me a hint ?

The CAPTCHA is just to help reduce the spam the site gets. It costs nothing to use and doesn't generate me any revenue.

Well say you have a huge URL that you want to make look prettier, then you would use the shortener to do that. Plus, you can track the stats by adding a "+" to the end of the shortened URL.

slsh.us/b - your thread link.
Not bad I like the QR code option!

It's actually http://slsh.us/B (uppercase b) 😝
And thanks, you can also get the qr code of a shortened URL by putting ".qr" at the end, like http://slsh.us/B.qr

Nice but you should have gotten a more HF type of domain like ub3r.pw 😏

I chose to have it mixed so it would have the maximum amount of combinations possible for the shortened URL. Once it gets into being more than one letter, then the confusion will die down.

It costs nothing but it wastes time. Maybe add better protection? 👍

I'll look into it. Do you have any suggestions?
