Shorten me - URL Shortener wot André Veríssimo

Pohódnoćenje wot Omi Azad

The only extension that works without any complication. I wish the notification bubble would be a bit smaller. The size I feel is unnecessary at this moment.

New reply: Perhaps this size: https://i.imgur.com/D5Vqhbr.png

I thought it was quite compact already, what do you think should be the message?

1) "The link was copied to clipboard"
2) "https://goo.gl/____ was copied"
3) "Success!"
4) Something else?

ps. You can edit your comment and add a reply to this question.

pps. I think the notification is quite important because it is only triggered when the link is copied, which becomes relevant in slower or problematic connections.

Sorry about this. There were some problems with the bit.ly service that powered the addon at this time and even more so recently.

As of June 2024 it's working with an alternative provider.

Amazing!
does what i need.
simple right click to shorten link.
Also being able to connect to my bit.ly account using API token so shorten links show up in my account is nice.

You probably had an outdated version of the addon that still relied on goo.gl service that was discontinued.

Can you check if that is the case by updating the addon to the latest

If not, please share more details on this bug report: https://github.com/averissimo/shorten-me/issues/5

Thanks

The backend now uses bit.ly instead of google. Copy/paste now works better using newer Firefox feature.

Ever since Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 installed a security update, this extension no longer functions. Firefox updated yesterday and unfortunately it didn't fix the problem either.

6/19/19 Just added it again, but it does nothing when I click on the "S" icon after highlighting a URL.

Sorry to hear, I've updated the backend and now uses bit.ly instead of google. Copy/paste now works better using newer Firefox feature.

Debería trabajar ahora. Ahora usa bit.ly en lugar de google. Copy/Paste funciona mejor usando la nueva característica de Firefox.

Doesn't work anymore, even when own API is provided.
Unfortunately, Google finished support with the end of March 2019.

Sorry about that. Changed to bit.ly API. If you wish to use own API use "Generic Access Token" with your bit.ly account

La verdad funcionó muy bien un par de meses, luego símplemente y de la nada, no recortaba las url aunque anunciaba que sí lo hacía, no copiaba URL y de hecho, en simples palabras, no servía para nada.

Por eso lo desinstalé y lo recomiendo mientras sirva, pero no sé por cuánto tiempo les pueda servir, a mi no me duró más de 2 meses...

I love Google services, I love your add-on. I always had to manually go the Google URL shortener website but now its so blady easy.
Just hope its secure and the url do not get changed/modified.

PS: I do not often often rate add-ons, just doing so to offset, what I feel, are invalid reasons to rate down a very useful add on.

Update: Thank you for your response.
I've now added my own API key.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Regarding security concerns, the code can and should be reviewed in https://github.com/averissimo/shorten-me *(or in the actual compressed file that is downloaded from firefox add-ons)*... I understand that it could be difficult for non-coders to do it.

The addon only has one call to an external service in this block: https://github.com/averissimo/shorten-me/blob/master/src/core.js#L92-L104

That then is copied to clipboard by running some javascript code in the current tab with really complicated code, but -- as of the time of writing -- it was the only way to do it *(even in examples from firefox)*

Unfortunately I have the exact same issue as the previous user, the add-on has stopped accurately copying short links to the clipboard (old content remaining there instead). Have had to uninstall. Was good until now so hopefully can be fixed.

Update - that was on 57 (various versions of 57.0.x).

Update - and is now working again. Other shorteners are also iffy. Suspect a general FF problem.

What version of firefox are you using?

It's recently stopped working for 2 of its three modes (toolbar button, "shorten this tab's URL"). Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help. I'm still running Firefox 56 (so my configuration has not been updated in several months) and I've not installed any new addons since I started using Shorten Me.

Sorry, I can't reproduce this scenario, I've tested it by downloading v56.0.2 from: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-GB/

ShortenMe was also not updated so the only element in the chain that could have broke is Google API which shows 8 errors from last 2 days. I have no idea if these errors were from you and can only ask you to try again with a generic website, such as reddit.com

note: "Firefox Addons" website and some others are designed to not work (by firefox not me), the error message of the last update to shorten me should be clear enough for you to understand if this is the situation.

I really hope you can solve this problem.
