Re: Scheme.org URL shortener Jakub T. Jankiewicz 05 Aug 2022 12:36 UTC

I like the idea of URL shortener, but be sure to use 301 redirect (permanent).

I wanted to write that "via" is little bit too long. My initial idea was to
use "u", but "go" is much better. I will use that one.

I would add some kind of welcome page on go.scheme.org with link to github
repo where you can add links or even better to the file that have the links.
The page should also have list of all links, that can also have description,
it will act as nice resource for Scheme related stuff on the internet.
