Another link shortener? I'm sure everyone will think so

So what's special about it?

Actually, nothing too special atm, it just allows you to customize a share image thumbnail when sharing a shortened link on social media platforms.

For now, I just capture a screenshot of the destination page and add a random gradient background below.

In the future, I will expand it further with advanced features like allowing editing of the share image thumbnails, design, color change, template change, adding images, adding text, etc. (and when that will happen is unknown — it depends on my laziness.)

In addition to creating shortened links via the main page, I have created, no, more accurately, AI has helped me create two other shortlink generators:

- CLI: with command `zii <url-destination>`

- Chrome Extension: zii.one/ziiext

The author is none other than Cursor Composer, with just 2 prompts, and it worked instantly

The product is still in MVP form, so it's completely FREE. Please feel free to use it.

Aside: Why is this product named "ZII"? Because it has a similar pronunciation to my real name (Duy), that's all


I've built https://DigiCord.Site - an AI assistant in Discord - with over 40 LLMs (GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, Meta, etc), AI vision models, stable disfusion models, enhance teamwork collab with AI in any groups. No subscriptions, only pay for what you actually use.

I let my company (40 members) used it in a month, only costed $30 (compare to $200 with 10 ChatGPT accounts/month as before, and no teamwork).


Utilize the power of my own PC to build web apps faster (with zero build time cost).
