CLUSTER LINKS-SHORTENING-URL · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-04-28

URL shortening services

This cluster consists of nine URL shortening web applications that convert long URLs into short links, track click counts, and provide varying levels of link management, including expiration, custom aliases, and JSON APIs. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from—only three entries exist, so the cluster likely predates the index or many members are undated. The traction leaders, based on activity signals, are ShortyFy (0 stars), flask-url-shortener (0 stars), and url-shortener (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
