I’m extremely OOTL here. Bit.ly rings a bell but I can’t tell if I interact with it or how. Guess I’ll find out when I see the ads

It is (was) a service that redirected a short URL like bit.ly/customurl to www.example.com/extremely/long/path/to/share/and/type?parameter=crazy&anotherparameter=long

perfect for sharing

  You can escape the . in a URL to break the markdown auto-linking: bit\.ly/customurl displays as:
  bit.ly/customurl

  But it seems there is a 2048 character limit, so unfortunately no storing of files in base64 data URI.
