Shortlinks

We use a custom shortlink service at link.hypha.coop. It helps us:

  • resolve keywords to URLs from any computer,
  • make commonly used resources quickly and easily accessible,
  • simplify link-sharing in spoken conversations, and
  • align on shorthand keywords for resources.

Instructions on creating and managing shortlinks are available in our configuration repo under hyphacoop/shortlinks directory.

Hint: You can use a URL hash to deep-link into an expanded shortlink. Example:ย http://link.hypha.coop/inventory#LinkedIn

Shortlinks work on their own in the address bar, but for even easier access on your own workstation, you can add a "custom search engine" keyword to your browser.

This allows you to type something like h<tab>shortlinks into the search bar, and get https://link.hypha.coop/shortlinks

Here's a screencast of how it works on Chrome:
