Jake WhartonI had forgot that Bit.ly enshittified itself, so I built my own short link redirector on top of Netlify yesterday. It was so easy that writing the article about it actually took longer.
David Edwards@jw though probably irrelevant for your use case. Since you want people to type in a link at an event.
My opinion on link shorteners was reversed through a meta discussion. I was previously a big fan of them. The mods had some great statistics: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/319962/url-shortening-service-for-stack-overflow
@knossos Yeah I use them in precisely two places: print media and presentation media. The motivation yesterday was an RSVP link on a kids birthday invitation. Otherwise I'm pretty opposed to their use in normal places where character count isn't at a premium.
