!mintrefresh Is there a way to quickly and easily shorten links on RDN? That would be a nice addition if it hasn't been done already. (sorry I keep reposting this)

@ponydude and not all link shorteners seem to be compatible with my phone's browser... but still, it's nice to have that option.

@ponydude hmm.. I guess just cuz it feels like I'm spamming when I post a 4-line link. Some users prefer the cleaner look and feel of shortened links, but I get why it's not a universal preference.. there can be some heinous links hidden in there after all.

@ponydude that's cool. In fact.. I don't know how possible it might be, but a function/setting that expands shortened URLS would be equally as awesome imo! !rdnrefresh !mintrefresh

@ponydude good point. I simply don't post long links that often.. when possible I manually shorten them by removing queries unless I'm feeling lazy. I guess I'm just spoiled by my android's Mustard app which allows me to shorten the urls easily

@pony i'm pretty happy with my phone. A smart phone would probably have been destroied after so many "flights"

@pony Yeah, I could add the ability for it to auto-shorten urls. I was actually thinking of that too. The only issue is that it may try to shorten urls you've already shortened (attachments etc) .. Unless.. I only shorten things that exceed a specific length.. !mintrefresh #notetoself

@minti Length-limiting the auto-shorten would be a good idea, actually, since most url-shorteners have a standardized string length outside the domain name. !mintrefresh
