Quite an ambitious project to work across platforms and apps. One of the microservices needed for that, is a backend tool to track links clicked. Something like all the commercial platforms do. E.g. when you click on google search results, you are following their internal link to the page that is registering your action, only from there redirects you to the desired target.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nHaving the first iteration of the tool ready and in production, but no budget for testers, the obvious next step was to build a frontend landing page and expose the tool to the public. Now I can watch its behaviour ;) You can help me by trying my \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcutdown.link\u002F\" style=\"color: rgb(14 165 233)\" class=\"font-semibold\" target=\"_new\">smart link service\u003C\u002Fa>.
