What we learned after 1 year of building CutMe Short — an AI-powered link management tool
After a year of building and improving CutMe Short, our AI-powered link management platform, we re finally getting ready for our launch here.
Over this past year, we ve grown quietly but steadily earning 4.7 on G2, along with badges like High Performer and Highest User Adoption.
More importantly, we ve learned a LOT from real teams using CutMe Short to manage, optimize, and analyze their links.
Here are a few things we discovered while building:
Branded links actually change user behavior. Custom domains + clean slugs consistently improve trust and engagement.
UTMs are painful for most marketers. Dynamic UTM templates + AI-suggested parameters became one of our most-loved features.
Links need flexibility. Expiry, link rotators, Google Analytics integration, editable OGP, folders, tags all became essential.
Analytics must go beyond clicks. Teams want deeper insights: clicks by platform, device, city/state, referrers, unique users, even click predictions.
Sharing matters. Shared dashboards, workspaces became important for collaboration.
Hey Product Hunters — Kritika here 👋
Hi everyone I m Kritika, building CaptureIQ an AI-powered form builder that helps businesses truly understand their audience and turn responses into meaningful insights.
I m new here and slowly exploring the Product Hunt world learning from fellow makers, reading launch stories, studying successful profiles, and understanding what it really takes to launch.
We re planning to launch CaptureIQ on Product Hunt soon, so I thought I'd first say a warm hi, learn from this amazing community, and get to know the people behind the products I am inspired by.
If you re into AI, product building, or just vibing with curious builders I d love to connect, learn from you, and share this journey together.
Glad to be here!
