@carlvensky it is built for internal use so still need to build auth and onboarding if I launch.

Why not launch it since you have already built it?

Yeah I think a URL shortener could be useful. Some additional features you may want to consider: custom QR codes, link tracking analytics, ability to set expiration dates on short links. Also make sure you have good security to prevent misuse. If you nail the UX and market it well, people would probably find value in it as a service.
