I don't know how xtom URL shortener works but a great advantage is,
Give away the short URL to a mass of people to access something (let's say a tut may be).
Now for whatever reason, the main URL changes. Then I'll have to inform all those people again and there will be people who would be accessing the old URL which will come as 404.
If I have URL shortener, I can just change the URL in background and all those people wouldn't even notice that the whole address changed.
I have used this a lot and saves a lot of time and headache especially when your target audience are not good with technology (in remote villages).
You can do this if you already have any website
What happened to unused link shortener? Can anyone reuse
My brother created this open source link in bio system with an ecosystem of themes if you're interested in a base to use/fork.

Yes. But over the years, you tend to delegate it to others instead of programming yourself or self host because of convenience.
Claude code the senior developer?
No, unused or removed slugs cannot be taken over by someone else.
If a short link is deleted or banned on S.EE, the corresponding slug will be permanently reserved.
The only exception is when a verified copyright owner provides proof and formally requests to reclaim the slug.
This prevents a situation where another user reuses the same slug to point to a different destination and causes confusion or impersonation.
And then, when your link shortener goes out of business but your website does not, and all your links break, you find out.
Signup is impossible, LOL … verification email takes 15min, link expired…
Had to spin a different alias. 🤷🏻♂️
is it just me or some default domains got removed overnight?
still, great service nevertheless!
Yeah I think it disappeared, it was there a couple days ago: https://lowend.talk/hDBv#Comment_4627550
and now in the dashboard:
Still lots of nice domains, but I do miss ki.ki a bit
btw nice dark theme
I wonder if this helps seo as in commenting on Reddit with shortlinks to pass some juice to the main site (u.nu/catmemes)
For LETers:
This is one of the least-idler item I bought this BCFM!!
I made a Shortcut for iOS Shortcuts:
https://s.ee/shortcut
What it currently does:
1. If link contains lowendtalk, it will use the
lowend.talkdomain2. For others, it uses the default
s.eedomainHow to use:
1. Go to https://s.ee/shortcut > Get Shortcut
2. Add Shortcut > Put in your API Token
3. When browsing a page, press share, and choose s.ee LET (whatever name you gave it, I added it to favorites so it shows up at the top of the share menu on iOS)
Extras:
You can set a keyboard shortcut to use on Mac in the Shortcuts App. It's in the Info icon > Details section.
Now just highlight the URL and use the keyboard shortcut. I'm using Cmd+ Alt + Shift + U.
Feel free to tweak the shortcut to your own use case
Is it based on Gempixel Premium Url Shortener?
I thought this would be fun to play with. I gave up when it wouldn't even complete the first step: Verifying mail and signing in. Weird error messages seemed to be unrelated to simply trying to access an account for the first time. Am I the only one?
You can check all of our official domains here
(We update the list regularly, so this page is always the most accurate reference.)
No, it's fully developed by the xTom team from scratch.
It should be fixed now.
