Link management that goes past shortening — dashboards, full CRUD, search, and active/inactive control.

About the project

Most URL shorteners stop at generating a slug. Shortly treats a link as something you own for its whole lifecycle.

Every account gets a dashboard listing its links with full create, read, update, and delete control, plus search across slugs and destinations. Any link can be toggled inactive without being deleted, which means a campaign can be paused and resumed instead of rebuilt.

Redirects are handled at the edge so the hop stays fast, and slug collisions are resolved at write time rather than retried on read.

Key features

Personal dashboard

Authenticated accounts with a profile view listing every link you own and its current state.

Full lifecycle control

Create, edit, search, and delete links, or toggle one inactive to pause a campaign without losing the slug.

Fast redirects

Lookups resolve at the edge, so the extra hop is barely measurable for the person clicking.

Collision-safe slugs

Custom and generated slugs are checked and resolved at write time rather than failing later.
