Hi StavrosK

I launched a URL Shortener last month that supports custom keywords, deleting links & custom domains. The default domain is a grandfathered .com emoji domain that I thought looked like a Ninja Star so I called the service Ninja Linka (marketing writes itself really).

Here's the homepage: https://ninjalinka.com

More info in the API Docs: https://ninjalinka.com/docs/1.0/home

Out of interest, what is your use case for deleting your links?

Hey dgivney! That looks quite good, thanks! Is there a trial so I can try it out for a few days? It looks like I need to pay to even try the UI.

Also, the star domain is interesting, but you may want to have an alternative as well. I usually use the links so I can type them on other people's computers to get access to my Dropbox, and hunting for an emoji on a computer is rather inconvenient...

I want to delete the links mostly for tidiness, but I also need to edit them because I sometimes want to change where they point to (to different folders in my Dropbox, etc).

Interesting use case, I see. You can use the URL shortener on the homepage to create links but yes, the custom keywords, custom domains and link analytics require a small one-off payment for personal use. I did this thinking it will prevent spam but I understand it's probably important - I will create some trail accounts and send you one this weekend.

Thanks!
