Option to not have the /s/ in the url

[liamlah]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

This is a great idea, thank you for creating this.

If I am dedicating a domain/subdomain to this service, ideally I'd want the url to be as short as functionally possible. The /s/ seems like 2 potentially unnecessary characters.

Describe the solution you'd like

If technically feasible an option to not have the /s/ in the url.

Additional context

I do independent technical support, and this could help me when directing someone to a url over the phone, in a situation where a url is being communicated verbally, the fewer characters, the better

[fidst]

This would be cool, even if it was an option panel to choose what you'd like in place of the /s/.

• /s/
• /
• /[custom]/

[danmed]

This is the only thing stopping me from switching from yourls to this.. i don't need a /s/ i just want domain/custom

If you use a reverse proxy like caddy

s.domain.com {
@subdir {
 not path /s/*
 not file
 }
 rewrite @subdir /s{uri}
 reverse_proxy 172.17.0.1:8880
}

This will redirect s.domain.com/link to s.domain.com/s/link and redirects to destination

would the same work nginx proxymanager?

Think so but I don’t use nginx.. it’s too complicated

[RealFascinated]

Is there any plans to implement this?

[boojack]

It's probably impossible to remove the s/ prefix from slash itself. However, it is recommended that you use a reverse proxy such as nginx to do so.

[rdamazio]

Would you be open to a pull request making this happen? It seems pretty easy to do.

[rdamazio]

(And btw, in Chrome my workaround so far is to add a search engine defined as the Slash url, and basically use space instead of / - but not ideal if you're deploying to many users)

[boojack]

@rdamazio FYI, Slash have another model Collection for sharing selected shortcuts, like a folder. And it would be prefixed with c/. So I think the necessary prefixes are needed.

You can just make one or both prefixes configurable - e.g. still use /c for collections but configure no prefix for shortcuts. Obviously that prevents having a shortcut called "c" (as well as one named the same as the prefix for the admin pages and API endpoints), but that's minor.

Surprised this isn't a thing yet.
