Show HN: Tinbo – yet another (modern) link shortener
Hi folks I've started this project years ago as an "exercise" and it stalled completely very soon, for years due to various reasons. But recently i've decided that it was worth a shot to actually make something useful out of it and show to the world. Yep, the world that's already full of link shorteners\link management software\branded links services\etc. I realise that there's a lot of established options in this space and I clearly realise that there's no "moat" in software

Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
