ShortLinksAtTheirBest
It is the first time I give 5 tacos review so easily. I do admit however, that I do have to trust in Switchy Team's ability to deliver what they've promised.
I purchased 1 code initially, but then after chatting with Jeff (I guess Geoffroy) multiple of times and comparing what's available on the market, I decided to upgrade to 5 codes.
The offer is seriously VERY generous. I initially bought it for the link shortening functionalities, to help myself get organised. I did have a couple of suggestions regarding the link shortening, like freeing the slug names for custom domains, and now to allow nesting in the slug (allow forward slash "/" sign in the slug).
From a more serious features I would love to see consistent SSL support for www and non-www links versions, redirections not only from non-www but also from a www subdomain included in a custom domain redirections.
Right now the only way I can do it is to have a separate custom domain for each of the non-www domains with a www, and manually creating links for all of them, what a mess that would be! This feature is important to me as I've discovered that some internet browsers when trying to connect to the site will (for various reasons) go to the www version of the link first. This could create a lot of pain when it comes to link shortening.
The solution is simple and it is to mirror non-www and www versions of the domain (link) and count it as one custom domain, so then...

takes me exactly where
https://my.link/to/go
takes me.
I love how Rebrandly does it, for the UI and UX.
Team responded quickly and I hope they will implement it soon (before I may choose to leave when not being able to achieve this easily).
I hope they will plan wisely and grow smart with their users.
I only just learned some basics on retargeting pixels etc and it brings a lot of extra possibilities. I don't know how much personally I would be using it, but I'm happy it's here! Will most likely need some sort of course on ho to use them properly for the benefit of my users and myself.
I highly recommend jumping on board before it's too late to grab this very generous deal from Switchy's Team of developers!
