Hi everyone!
After 6 months of building state.sk, I’m excited to finally launch it on Product Hunt! 🎉


This started as a side project while I was experimenting with BetterAuth authorization and helping my company’s marketing team with analytics and reporting.
URL shortening isn’t a new idea, but existing tools felt greedy, complicated, or outdated - pick any two.

At some point, I became obsessed with creating a useful and affordable alternative. I focused on giving users as much value and insight as possible, even on the free plan. The goal was simple: build something valuable first, think about monetization later - and make it look modern and professional.

I believe that goal is accomplished. Everyone who tried the MVP gave really positive feedback.


Key features:

  • Detailed analytics: geography, top links, UTM, device, OS, and more

  • REST API

  • Free QR codes (unique feature: just add .png or .svg to any link to get an image!)

  • Advanced options: mobile targeting, A/B testing, geo-targeting, password protection, temporary links, etc.

  • Free subdomain for every user + custom domain support

  • Organize links with folders and tags

  • Import/export support

    It’s already in great shape 😉 - I’m constantly improving it based on feedback, and I believe it’ll only get better in the near future.
