I'm particularly proud of the analytics dashboard - it shows detailed click data with charts and geographic breakdown, something that's either missing or expensive in other tools.

Questions for the community: 1. What features would make you switch from your current URL shortener? 2. How important are custom domains vs analytics for your use case? 3. Any feedback on the pricing strategy?
The app is live and accepting payments. Would love feedback from the HN community!
