Hey hunters and makers! My friends and I were inspired by Google's '.new' TLD, which allows companies and individual makers to make growth their apps and services' activation by providing action-based URLs to users. We thought it would be fun to flip this concept around users rather than provider by making a tool that allows users to create a shortened URLs directly connected to their favorite actions. We do build this as a side project currently but hope to keep improving better and more useful for you. Please help us by providing feedback and suggesting improvements.

As the number of link grows, wouldn't it be difficult to name new links. In this case the same problem may exists where we still have to remember the links after all.

@daryllman i think custom domain can solve this problem.. I have tried redirecting with custom domain but it does not work always and may be this works

@daryllman Obviously, as the number of shortcuts increases, it will become challenging to memorize. Considering how to solve the issue will also be of great help in improving the product. Thanks for your excellent insight!

Amazing domain and love the simplicity. I'm curious if this project evolves into something even deeper. What's on the roadmap, @sonujung?

@rrhoover We started doing this as a side project to enjoy the process of turning a small idea into a product. Right now, we are in the stage of observing how users understand and use this working prototype. On purpose, we try not to have a long-term roadmap to stay flexible. Personally, I think it would be fun to make this app a kinda workflow automation tool that utilizes the 'https://my.new/xxx/xxx' URL as an API endpoint for individuals.

@sonujung I do like the simplicity! And I think your idea to expand this into a workflow management tool is interesting. I'll have to noodle on it more. 🤔

Sorry if I'm missing it, but are shortened URLs global across all users? Or is it just user-specific somehow?

@davidvkimball Its shortened URL is for personal use, not for sharing. Actually, we have plans to provide sharable links, but this has a different purpose than the sharable shorten URLs provided by bit.ly or others.

Love the thought. I am curious to know what is the purpose of the product? is it the same thing as bookmark a website or I am missing something. Would like to understand the product better.

@abir_hs You can make personal shortened URLs for creating something with your favorite cloud apps. For example, You can map the action composing a mail with Gmail to 'my.new/mail'. Can you give us some feedback on how I can explain this concept easier and more intuitive?

@sonujung I see. I get it.

Love the idea. Very much in line with how google uses it for their products like sheets.new / docs.new / etc. After testing it for a few minutes I realise that I definitely wont remember all the links I created. But, what if there would be a repository of links for all of those apps by default. For example, I know I would remember a link like my.new/gmail/new (or even like pull up user's gmail labels and let them jump in to a specific label?!) or my.new/miro/board. It would be good if a user can override those with their own, shorter, links but the flow of having a product and surfacing an action that's buried deep in that product with a link is, imo, easier to remember and a lot more useful.

@romspax We had the idea of providing a URL with a multi-depth structure. Although, we excluded it from the scope of the first release. The context isn't entirely the same, but the detailed feedback you gave us enriches our hypothesis. Thank you!

Could be interesting, but I get an error about the path not being valid when I try to add a shortcut! Not much info to go off of in the dialog as to why it isn't working.
