Ask HN: Combine URL shortener and service to compress text and store it in URL?

1 pointsby 2ro7 months ago
I use the following two services but the workflow is not so good as I have to deal with seperate sites and must be very careful with the second site in particular since it does not always update the URL - my work around is to paste in the text - then the URL will be correct for use with 0x.co) - but I wish I could get the same results with less effort:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;0x.co&#x2F; (URL shortener)<p>-- combined with --<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nicd.gitlab.io&#x2F;t&#x2F; (stores compressed text in the URL)<p>If anyone owns a very short URL this could become a business for you. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;a.co&#x2F; is taken (just so you know)<p>An added feature I would use is client side code execution for supported programming languages and a way to add new programming languages - an easy hack would allow one to create very long programs by transparently keeping many &quot;0x&quot; codes collected under a master &quot;0x&quot; code.<p>Used with password protection and a default &quot;temporary&quot; post lifetime which can then be switched to &quot;final&quot; this becomes a very powerful environment for programmers.<p>I have pointed my domain http:&#x2F;&#x2F;0by.co&#x2F; to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nicd.gitlab.io&#x2F;t&#x2F; if anyone wants to try this.<p>I really hope some people do!<p>Point your browser to 0by.co or to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nicd.gitlab.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;, paste in your text, copy the URL, point your browser to 0x.co, paste in the URL and choose to make it a &quot;link&quot; type code.
