Hi @jason_kirby3 congratulations on the launch! I was exploring the app and came across something that might be a bug. When I select a date in the "Target Close Date" field, for example, May 19, 2025, it displays a different date, like 06/21/2025. Just mentioning it in case it's not the intended behavior.

"Shorten links and redirect to the right app" We’re building a brand management dashboard, starting with intelligent short links. Share any URL, and we’ll automatically redirect your audience to the correct app, whether it’s YouTube, Instagram, Product Hunt, and support for more apps is being added everyday

You share a YouTube link on Instagram, but it opens in the in-app browser instead of YouTube. Frustrating, right? Flare fixes this. Our Direct Links open in the right app automatically. Shorten, share, and let Flare handle the rest for a seamless experience.
