ishortn is a Dynamic Links and URL shortener that allows you to shorten links, track the clicks, and get analytics on your links. It is a free and open source project that is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and other awesome technologies.
I integrated the dynamic linking feature into this project since firebase is going to be shutting down the service in August of 2025. This has led to the panic of many projects that rely on the service, and alternatives to the firebase dynamic linking service are quite expensive.
I hope this project can help those who are in need of a dynamic linking service.
