Dub

Another tool that I wanted to talk about is Dub.co. Primarily, Dub.co is a link shortening platform, similar to Bitly, but in the vein of really streamlined, developer focused tools that I have become a big fan of recently, Dub.co is really great.

You can easily connect your own domain, campaign tracking, click analytics, even custom branded QR codes. I use this at work for several things, and even use the free plan on my personal domain for a few things.

The API is also really great to use. There’s a project I’m building for work which I’m not quite ready to talk about, but I have it integrated with Dub.co to generate short links, and branded QR codes on the fly. It’s really nice. Of course, there are a million ways to do this kind of thing out there, but Dub.co is very pleasant and easy to use.

Bonus - There is a fantastic Raycast Extension for Dub.co which makes creating short links or quickly checking click analytics even esier. Here’s my post about Raycast - Raycast
