Using abbreviated URL Web addresses has long been a good method for sending links that are usually too long. This is very convenient, for example, in Twitter and other cases where there is a limit on the number of characters in the message. Now in Windows 10, which in January 2016 became the second most popular operating system in the world, the convenience of using this feature has increased. The application intended for this purpose from the developer RafaelWare Team can be downloaded from the Windows Store.
The Short.y application for Windows 10 has already been released and was described in more detail in the article by Jack Wilkinson "Short.y for Windows 10 lets you shorten the URLs on any of your devices" published by the winbeta.org resource. Despite the importance of the technical characteristics of devices, the choice of user-friendly software plays no less important role for users than a powerful computer processor.
The application uses is.gd, the URL shortening service. Being a universal Universal Windows application, it works on any device running Windows 10 - on a PC, a mobile device running Windows 10 Mobile and Surface Hub.
This application supports x86, x64 and ARM processor architectures. The language of its interface is English, but since the task it performs is very simple, everything that it needs to do will be intuitively understood by many users.
It allows you to not only reduce web addresses, but also keep statistics of user-made abbreviations, get URLs from other applications, including Microsoft Edge. Short.y will shorten them automatically by simply copying addresses to the clipboard.
In addition, the application provides an interesting function, such as extracting links from the text. It means that the user can transfer text from another application to Short.y, which in turn will scan the text and extract all references from it, and then create a shortened URL for each of the links found in the text.
The application in question also works with social networking applications, such as Twitter and Messenger. The user can quickly transfer to the application links from Microsoft Edge. To do this, it is enough to copy the abbreviated URL to the clipboard and paste it into the social network application that the user needs.
It should be noted that now each user can see the history of updates of Windows 10. For many users, the transition to a new operating system is inevitable, at least for the reason that the newest processors are intended only for it. However, there are alternatives - Mac and Linux.
How important and necessary is the URL shortening function implemented as a fairly convenient application?
