24 alternatives to A URL shortener that lets you change the destination source

@deveshb15 and I built a URL shortener because the existing ones don't let you change the destination source once you create it. The main benefit is really just the fact that once you claim a link, you don't need to claim another and you can change the destination that link leads to as many times as you want - we need this a lot and don't want to pay a monthly fee for this. We used nextjs for frontend and backend, firebase for authentication and database, and used middleware in nextjs to the redirect url to desired location. Give it a go and let me know if you have any feedback. Thank you
