sh.orty: Now With Shorter URLs
Based on the feedback I've received from yesterday's post about my URL shortening service, I implemented a few things: - Actually shows you that you need "http://" as part of the URL.
- Shortened the link by one character, using a bit of mod_rewrite magic. So now instead of http://sh.orty.com/?RTEJGFXY it's now http://sh.orty.com/RTEJGFXY (no question mark).
- I also got rid of characters that would look similar to each other if copied/pasted into a printed document. So I, 1, O, and 0 will not be used when constructing URLs.
I need to fix a couple minor bugs I've come across, and Aaron has sent me a couple of great ideas for use of this service that he's going to help me implement, so look forward to simple but cool changes.
