| Hello HN :) For the record, I learned how to code less than 2 years ago, next to my full time job. I rarely have the time to complete a side project, so I challenged myself to make a functional website in a weekend. The idea was simple, to be able to create a short URL to share a list of websites.
It's not revolutionary, but I was surprised not to find more sites to do that. Bit.ly had such a system a few years ago called "Bundles", which they shut down. I often see interesting lists on Twitter or in articles, but keeping track of all this is sometimes complicated. That's where I got the idea. So I created Multy over a weekend and was thrilled to see that I could make a functional site, no matter how small, in such a short period of time. I still have a lot of ideas to improve it, such as adding private links, or a very simple statistics system.
I would like as much as possible not to create an authentication system and keep the concept as simple as possible.
I haven't necessarily thought about monetization, but there may be some ideas! I didn't create it to make a fortune anyway. I would like to have your opinion on its current version, and on the evolutions I could bring to it. Thank you for reading me and taking the time to test Multy! |
Currently I use bit.ly for this, but it means generating lots of links. What is helpful on bit.ly is the bookmarklet. Being able to add a link to a bundle from a bookmarklet would be quite nice if you haven't done it already.
