TLY has passed 65M+ URLs and QR codes created.
The job is still the same: make links easier to share, easier to trust, and easier to measure.

No ad interstitials. Clean redirects. Real click stats.

Printed a QR code and then changed the landing page?
That should not mean reprinting everything.

Dynamic QR codes in TLY let you update the destination later and track scans by time, location, and device.

@thsottiaux I think Codex is a better name

@catalinmpit All free for him but impressive, the amount of code he must be pushing

Short branded links start with a good short domain.

TLY's Short Domain Finder helps find short, readable, brandable domains for links, QR codes, and social campaigns.

Redirect chains are easy to miss one URL at a time.

Paste a batch into TLY's Bulk Redirect Checker and find the weird stuff faster:

@kevinrose @github @digg Are you building most of this yourself Kevin?

@steipete What about just installing the iPhone app on the Mac? Pretty sure you can just install any iPhone app on a Mac, and it should work

Before and after the refreshed TLY stats page.

Cleaner metrics, QR impact, traffic trend, and campaign insights are now easier to see at a glance.

20 years ago, the YouTube founders were worried about whether the site would work because it had only 40 videos. Everything starts small...

What's up with the weird camera shake they are adding to these videos???

Computer use lets Codex work across your apps without taking over your Mac.

@AriX talks with @romainhuet about what changes when agents can click, type, and keep working in the background.

AI lets you make so many minor changes that normally wouldn't be worth the time, but can make an app much nicer. Recently added skeleton loading indicators to https://t.co/nxCjGPo0Nh, and it's way nicer than I expected. Gives user feedback

@theo @TheICHpodcast Just became an AI expert. How... just use Chat and Claude lol

@taylorotwell That's awesome. What's your process to move to a new laptop? Do you start fresh?

[Tim Leland @TimLeland]

@driesvints Pretty sure Cloudflare has no markup on domains. They charge the registry fee plus the ICANN fee. Other places you may get the first year at a lower price, but then it goes way up.
