A faster, cleaner, no-bs link shortener, skipping the not-so-great privacy reputation of marketing centric link shorteners (cough adfly).
We adapt Chromium principles to help us drive product decisions:
- Speed: Snip has low performance overhead and is compressed with deflate and gzip.
- Security: Snip is secured with 128-bit SSL and no user data is stored (privacy baby)
- Sustainability: Snip relies on a 7 day TTL to keep the service going in good health.
- Simplicity: Snip provides a high-level interface that’s easy to use, understand, and debug.
