I like this one! It's kind of like bit.ly but private/secure?

[omranjamal]

Yeah; pretty much. (Let's make it; Just one free project on Firebase and a nodejs hosting server required)

[ariflogs]

Sure. Have a few days off after mid! Think we can have an MVP working part time in a week?

[omranjamal]

I think we can get it up in less than a week! We will invent nothing just mix and match tools and get things going.

I think i don't fully get it. 1) Why would you need to share a private link in a public place? 2) Consider 1 just completely answered and validated - If there is authentication and you authored that person (which i can asume that you know him then) what is the difference between private direct message over any platform?

Just asking because i didn't get it.
