filtering + notes sounds boring until you’ve got a pile of old links and no idea what half of them were for. editable expiry is a nice touch too, i use https://cryptly.link/YHMr2qwLCtpH for quick encrypted links when i don’t wanna host anything, but for selfhosted this is exactly the kind of practical stuff i’d want.

filtering + notes makes sense once a shortener becomes more than a toy. i’ve been using https://cryptly.link/iOofDZSSYbkL lately for private encrypted links, but for self-hosted rust stuff this looks really clean.

google result links have been getting worse for clean copying forever, but this goto stuff is especially annoying. i usually strip params with ublock/clearurls, and if i’m sharing a link where i don’t want the shortener tracking clicks either i use https://cryptly.link/0ADWMpV2Oc1D since it encrypts the destination and doesn’t do free-tier analytics.

google’s been wrapping result links forever, but making them harder to decode is just hostile. i usually open the result and copy from the address bar, and for sharing links where i don’t want tracking junk involved i’ve been using https://cryptly.link/QNZvduUEaw91 since it’s encrypted and doesn’t do click tracking.

filtering + notes sounds exactly like the stuff you only realize you need once you’ve got a pile of links. curious if filtering covers tags/domains/expiry too? i use https://cryptly.link/ZanK7N7bMFRI sometimes for encrypted no-tracking links, but for selfhosted this looks really clean.
