Show HN: URLs that belong in your sentences
intr.oduc.ingHey everyone! I got a quick question for you: which link would you like to put in our announcement post? Is it A. yourwebsite.com/announcement/our-latest-update or B. intr.oduc.ing/our-latest-update
Perhaps it'd be clearer if I put it in a sentence... "Super stoked to finally say that we're intr.oduc.ing/our-Product-Hunt launch!"
See how that link blends in with the sentence? I bet you none of the other URL shorteners can do that - whether it's bit.ly, ow.ly, or dub.co! Impress your X followers by launching with an intr.oduc.ing/your-product link!
This has been an idea of mine for years, and I'm so excited to finally see it in action! I've always hated how obtrusive and unnatural links look in between words, and shortening it doesn't help. This product is a solution to my own problem, and I think it's the same problem that hundreds of businesses are facing as well, albeit a minor one!
Should this replace other URL shorteners like bit.ly? Probably not - it's a different product with different objectives! These might not be the shortest link (and we're not trying to make them shorter), but they flow with your sentence!
I'll continue adding more URLs like this, and this is still a WIP - let me know if there are any features you'd like to see! Cheers!
