We have planned to add an API to Gooo.to but the timing had not to be decided. But there is a tiny light about that we may work with a big company to shorten their tons of important links. So, we added the API immediately and we understand that we also need an API doc.
While we use Laravel Livewire to made Gooo.to why not we make the API doc interactive? We should and we did.
Now, our interactive API doc is ready.
Bon appetite.
Almost one year passed after started and we realized that our website has untouched. There is a proper saying for that in Turkish culture: The tailor can’t sew his own rip. Oh, there is another one: Candle doesn’t enlight own foot. Of course, these are not acceptable for a tech company.
And our web site’s new look is online. Take a look.
Our 8 hours side project Gooo.to becomes a fine service which has two main functions. First; it is a link shortener service and second; it is also a link hub service.
This is obvious. If you want to shorten the link that you need to share or use it for something else; just paste the link and make it shorten. If you do it after login, you can change the title or the shortened link. Easy.
This is new. One of our friends encouraged us to add this function to Gooo.to. With this ability, you can create a public profile page that includes all the link that you want to show it together; like Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook pages. Not only social media links, but you can also add any link that you want. Then you can use the Gooo.to profile page in your social media profiles, which only one link allowed to share in these profiles, thus, you share all your important links with people on a single page.
You can customize the link hub page with several backgrounds, button styles, or fonts.
Yesterday we started a project and finished after 8 hours later. We have decided the domain should be kodv.in. It was small enough and usefull to use for our URL shortener project. But, after a few hours more we realised, which we didn’t remember how, there was .to domains in the market. We always use the Name.com for domains and they don’t sell .to domains. Somehow it appeared while surfing and and we start searched. Finally we found the Canadian company that name is register.to was selling .to domains with a quite discount. We bought our second domain name for the new micro project and this one was not cheap as the original one. But more elligible and usefull we thougt.
The new domain is: Gooo.to
What are you think?
