Comment on Show HN: Yet another url shortner xiv.in, comments pleaseparent

Comments

Yes agree that there is trust factor, also there are dozen of similar services. However I came across inquiries for shortening api services which are free / cheap. as per that there was bit of exclusivity required.

At the moment all still in flux. Thanks for your honest comments.

IMO, what would be cool would be an open API where you don't need any kind of developer key to create a short link.

Isn't Bitly free too?

Yes, api is there already. Its simple http post based one. Other important factor we are thinking is NOT TRACKING any links.
