As people have said above me, Scratch URLs aren't particularly long, and there are already other sites out there.

I see there, but it would be nice for scratch to have its own because links like https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/130720/?page=1#reply and that are quite long and as someone said, you can have more room so ok, if you had a comment with a scratch project link, it would shorten to scrat.ch/p/4859535 or if you typed scrat.ch it would redirect to scratch.mit.edu.

It's not like a google search link…

Say, what if it was a long url in your about me and you wanted MORE in that about me, the url shortener would help

Scratch Urls, about me stuff and form posts.

I don't think Scratch is a major part of most people's life to have this be necessary.

Exactly. It's not worth the ST's time to add this.

Why would you need project links in your about me? Just set it as your featured project. Anyway, the solution to that would be a higher character limit- that way it would help everyone with a crowded about me section, not just those with links in their about mes.

Just use goo.gl or something like that.

URL shorteners aren't allowed in comments or project, studio or profile pages. Just post the full link, Scratch URLs aren't that long.

And we need a URL shortener why?

What if you have multiple projects, like art trade rules, about me, whatever.
Anyway, support for that too.

You can still abbreviate it to https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/130720 .

No support, Scratch URLs aren't long enough for it to be worth doing this.

+0.3 support, not exactly worth doing

I agree.

No support! Scratch doesn't allow short URLs. If they're implemented, scratch will think that it's unmoderated.

Not a bad idea but no support

No support, just copy and paste. Okay, semi-support.
