Shameless plug for a similar project that i did few years back: A (partial) static site generator based on github issues :) https://github.com/geekodour/gitpushblog
Interesting. This could be considered as abuse of github issues though.
I wonder if anyone has made this observation before in regards to such things: "Anything that can be used to store arbitrary data, will be used to store arbitrary data."
First I'm always fascinated by smart solutions that make use of existing free (as in beer) infrastructures to provide a service with open-source software. In this way we truly get FOSS.
Second, I really like the idea that the information on where the shortened url redirects to is publicly available. I know that solutions like bitly.com do provide a way to preview the shortend url, but I think this is just more transparent, although admittedly a little bit less obvious.

Like licensing arguments?

That’s clever! I once did the same, except I used a static site generator that I would push to Github and deploy on Netlify.
I’d love to know more about how you did this!

Yeah I suspect you could do something nifty along these lines with Netlify Functions.

I launched this a few months ago so getting to the first page of google search results is a bit challenging.
Maybe allow users to shorten links for free (without account) so that your domain becomes recognizable. bitly became popular that way And target enterprises with custom URL's. They look very good Maybe copy some features adjust has (deep linking and redirecting to respective app stores with tracking parameters) https://www.adjust.com/glossary/deep-linking/
Businesses that I target have set up custom domains and reap more benefit from it.
I eventually plan to retire default shortening domain(blanq.io) and only offer custom domains.
Better be ready for the malicious links. I'm the developer of https://t.ly/ link shortener. I spend most of my time adding in protection to prevent people from using the service for malicious links.
