Redirectz - A Scratch Link Shortener!

9gr

UPDATES:

You can now ask for a custom link, e.g mz.vercel.app/s?<YOUR STUDIO NAME> or mz.vercel.app/p?<PROJECT NAME> or mz.vercel.app/t?<YOUR TOPIC>

i know this link is not that short, but its the best I can get right now. Please send any recommendations. Thanks!

I made a Scratch Link shortener called Redirectz. You can check it out here.
all the domains that support this shortener (they share the same code):

mz.vercel.app
redirectz.vercel.app
eqe.glitch.me

how to use this scratch link shortener:
NOTE: you don't need to check these docs in this quote if you use Chiroyce's link shortener or you can use the built in javascript version here.

Link Syntax:

/u? - goes to a user's profile, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/u?Paddle2See
goes to Paddle2See's profile.

/p? - goes to a project, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/p?60917032
goes to appel.

/pe? - goes to a project editor, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/pe?60917032
goes to appel project editor.

/t? - goes to a forum topic, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/t?473331
goes to Ihatr's directory

/s? - goes to a forum topic, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/s?473331
goes to a random studio idk about
Scratch Mod Links
/tw? - goes to the turbowarp project link, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/tw?60917032
goes to appel in turbowarp

/fp? - goes to the forkphorus project link, e.g:
mz.vercel.app/fp?60917032
goes to appel in forkphorus

i'll be adding more things as soon as i can.
hope you enjoy using this!

Please send criticism and feedback.

I did want to get a .now.sh domain from vercel, but they were deprecated
i also do not want to use freenom, everyone says they are bad.

Very very cool, and it functions properly. One thing though; these links are roughly the same size as the normal link.

I have moved to @BrowserExtension

Zerofile

the link is still pretty long I made this: https://scr3short.github.io/ (https://scrc.tk) a while ago which would shorten any project/user to: scrc.tk#ABCDE (the domain has expired now)

thanks for the website ST

Chiroyce

Extremely cool! I thought I had to go to a website and enter a link and it would shorten it for me. But here's some bad news

Yeah, so I don't think this would be safe because of this

I'm trying to find viable alternatives that are shorter than these links already

You might also be able to do it with users, but I'm not sure if you can get the username from the user id.

This is an account that exists.

Here, have a useful link:

hmmm… it would be little bit slow but it could work.
i dont think that can be done, unless somebody with an api makes a userid thing

Cool! I'll link it in the main page so everybody could see this after its published.
You could try using a white background instead of black so it blends in to the page? (Your choice, just suggesting)

No controls means taking away the green flag and stop button. I'm trying to do this, to make your link generator fit in with the home page.

EDIT:I can't add anything yet because I'm not on my computer. Will be in a few hrs

A comparison:

mz.vercel.app/s/t?473331
scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/473331

Not roughly the same size but still not really short.

I made something similar that has much shorter links (11 characters shorter in fact), see https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/367966995. It doesn't support user pages though.

this is to shorten scratch links which has the id with it (so people know what they're going to)
you're one is good. just put this out there to show that this is little bit different to mine.
