Hi Product Hunt! I'm the solo developer behind ShyLink.
The Inspiration I built ShyLink because I was genuinely paranoid about my team’s "digital footprint." Every time we shared a password, an API key, or a private URL over chat, those credentials stayed in the message history forever, just waiting for a breach. I wanted a tool that could "burn" a link after the recipient viewed it once—leaving zero trace.
The Problem Most URL shorteners today feel like they belong in 2010. They gatekeep basic geographic analytics behind $30/mo subscriptions or force "AI" features into everything. I wanted to build a modern, high-performance platform that prioritized control (click limits, hard expiry) and security (Google Web Risk scanning).
The Evolution ShyLink started as a simple internal script for sharing secrets. Based on feedback from early testers, it evolved into a full utility hub. I even added an unauthenticated "Toolkit" (UTM builder, QR generator) because I was tired of sites charging for simple static PNGs.
I’ve poured a lot of heart into the glassmorphic UI and the React/Rails architecture. I’m here all day to take your feedback, answer technical questions, and learn how you'd use these tools in your workflow!
