YoLinks, a human-readable URL shortener for teams
Hi HN, I've been working on YoLinks (aka YoLinks.app) for the past few months. Most URLs are long, unmemorable, and opaque. YoLinks allows anyone in your organization to create aliases that anyone else can access. These aliases end up being shorter, more memorable, and transparent. Imagine using yo/onboarding instead of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyJy21G5F508r6Fbg0AMlE8a.... All aliases are private to your organization. My primary goal in building YoLinks was learning.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I've been working on YoLinks (aka YoLinks.app) for the past few months. Most URLs are long, unmemorable, and opaque. YoLinks allows anyone in your organization to create aliases that anyone else can access. These aliases end up being shorter, more memorable, and transparent. Imagine using yo/onboarding instead of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyJy21G5F508r6Fbg0AMlE8a.... All aliases are private to your organization. My primary goal in building YoLinks was learning. I was also frustrated that my current company doesn't have a similar tool; you can learn a lot more while solving a real problem (this is why I didn't sign us up for similar products on the market). Here's a list of concepts and tools I learned while building this: * React for the frontend * Cypress for in-browser tests * Concepts around building a multi-tenant product for enterprises (roles, managing mappings between users and their organizations, SSO) * Google Identity Platform (which also exposes you to Firebase Authentication) for authentication and supporting OIDC auth for multiple tenants * Mixpanel * Browser extension development (manifest v3 for Chrome and Edge; v2 for FireFox) I'd love any feedback!

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
