Show HN: Shortenr – A Powerful Link Tool

Hacker News - Tue, 04/29/2025 - 11:05pm

Hey HN,

I’ve been building Shortenr — a modern, all-in-one link tool designed for creators, marketers, crypto users, and privacy-focused users.

It includes: • End-to-End Encrypted File Sharing (client-side, using AES-256) • Smart Link Shortening (geo/device targeting, A/B tests, UTM builder) • Poll Links (gather user feedback from a short link) • One-Time & Expiring Links (perfect for stealthy content) • Link-in-Bio Pages with full analytics

Everything’s built with privacy in mind — even file uploads are never stored in plaintext, and most features work without needing an account.

I’m 15 and built this solo with TypeScript + Next.js + Prisma + PostgreSQL.

Try it here: https://shortenr.me Would love feedback, feature ideas, or brutal critique!

Payment processors shouldn't be able to charge through an expired card

Hacker News - Tue, 04/29/2025 - 10:57pm

My web hosting service renewed my subscription by charging my bank account through an expired debit card. Why do banks give payment processors such power? It’s ridiculous!

My leverage has always been to leave expired cards on file when I find it difficult to cancel a subscription. It's crazy that they can get around it.
