Typr.in (Specializing in hand-typed urls)

A friend of mine built this a few years ago. The use case is that you want to share a link with someone over the phone or any case where the person is hand-typing the URL.

Just go to the URL bar and prefix the url with "typer.in/ln/news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15450646" and you get a short link that has characters that are easily pronounceable, such as http://typr.in/2uw7 (this thread).

I find this tool incredibly useful every now and then.

Caveat is it doesn't work with the scheme prefixes right now, so you have to delete the https:// when you use it for secure sites.
