Wow yeah is.gd is down, isn't it! I wonder if it died entirely?

fwenzel commented 3 years ago

FYI bitly requires an API key that you can generate and enter there, or tinyurl should just work. If you have other providers in mind let me know, happy to take a look.

@raggoo FYI I just released version 5.2.0 which removes is.gd because the service is broken, and the new default is tinyurl.com -- there are also other options for you in the settings, including you can register an account bitly and use your own API key in there.
