#52The choice of.xyz tld is not the best choice for a security service. It is one of the worst tlds when it comes to scam. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28554400
I own a couple of .xyz just for my own self hosting stuff... I got them cause they're cheap.
There is nothing inherently bad about .xyz... (that I'm aware of) It's just that because they're cheap they get used.

#54> Keep your links safe and accessible only to authorized users Is the operator of this service also able to access the links? If yes, then right away this claim is not true and merits caution: the random unknown owner of this service can now harvest links which were deemed sensitive enough to merit a password to access.
Hey!
In the DB all links and password are encrypted. I only have access to the password if I access to the private url and then unlock the url

#55Along the lines of some other comments here, this would benefit from some documentation about privacy, terms, are they trying to make a business from this, what they’re doing with the data, etc.
Thanks! I forget about it. I just added :)
