Hey All. Another bug fix deployed out. I think I figured out the whole "site title/description/image not showing up" thing. It should pull it a little more accurately now. Could you let me know if you come across any sites that don't show those details? Oh also, 3,500+ links shared, 221,000+ visits!

Morning all! I guess over night ShrLnk exceeded 1,000 links shared on it, and 101,000 visits to those links (Excluding the thousands more bots). Thank you guys! With that, I've just uploaded another release. Some more general fixes, but as well I introduced alias addresses and QR code generator(1/-

Happy Saturday all! I've just uploaded another release to ShrLnk.ca. It's mostly a series of cosmetic and bug fixes, but I also introduced a page to show what you get from having an account on it. And yes, there's a pay version too, but 100% optional. As always, please report any bugs!

Hey all. So currently I've got two projects on the go. I'm going to condense it into just the one, ShrLnk. But I want to know from those that are still using the original r.pebmac.ca site, what keeps you using it? I want to make sure the reason you're using it comes over to the new site.

13,600 link visits since ShrLnk went live a couple days ago. I'm guessing things are working well, haven't heard much in the way of any bug reports 🙂

New app is (still in beta) live for use! Please give it a try and give me any bug reports! ShrLnk.ca

Hey all, So I've made some good progress with the new app. It's a lot more than what I did up previously, so it's taking longer to produce. I think I'm to the point where I'm going to open it up for some people to try. I'll start off with my supporters. I'll send out the invite Monday morning.

!! Ok I found a temporary work around !! You can use this as a stop gap. It's the original app, everything is the same, just a different URL. I can't speak to how long it'll work for, but, it's a temporary solution fb-news-sharer.pebmac.workers.dev

Just as a small stop gap... It's not the best solution out there, but someone shared this app with me as a temporary work around until I can get a revised app going. Works in a similar fashion, but it won't put the meta data in the link on FB. And people have to click to continue. But it works.

Alright all. I've made some good progress on the new app. Still a long ways out, but the foundation is there. What I would like from you all though is feature requests. What would you like to have this app do? (Before you ask, yes, I'm going to try and get mobile "Share To" going)

Uh oh. Something either broke or Facebook caught on. I can't look into it right now but I'll get on it this weekend!

So life got the upper hand on me, and I completely had forgotten about this project. Apparently you guys didn't though. I'm averaging 14,000 visits per day on it. You guys are awesome :)

Hey all. Some general feedback I've been getting is some news sites come up with "this site block bots" as the description. That's an intentional thing I put in; some news sites DO go through efforts to block bots like mine, and I respect that effort. The link will still work; there's just no (1/2)

Well, Facebook decided to arbitrarily ban my account, citing I tried breaking into people's accounts. In traditional fashion, Facebook doesn't have any way of contacting them, so I'll be out of comission until I get around to creating a new account. So if you guys run into any issues, please feel...

Another Update! I've had some requests, and I've wanted to do it too, to be able to "Share" to my app from another app on the phone. Now we can do that! It's still in an early release, but from what I can tell it's working as intended. I don't have an iPhone to try it out with, but, with Android...

As it stands, the app still works too; just for clarification there. Should that no longer be the case, I'll look at uploading the code to GitHub so others can continue its legacy.

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time until Facebook banned my page. They claim I'm impersonating someone.. Odd enough. But in traditional Meta fashion, there's no way to contact them, so what they say goes. So now I'm on BlueSky! You can also email me at [email protected] should you need to.
