have you any specific shorteners in mind?

[riconeitzel]

Yes, my own yourls for example :-)

So all I need i.e. is the following:

API-URL with Placeholder to put the shuttled URL
Fetch the return value and copy that into pasteboard.

Best,
Rico

btw: welcome on board :-) thanks for your time, energy and ideas! :)

+1 on this one.

Having a custom URL would be excellent. Maybe for now it would be the easiest to open source http://sht.tl/api.php, which we could install ourselves them.

Having some customized option with placeholders and so on would be even better. If this is an option, I would propose an URL field with a {url} placeholder. This would send an POST request to the URL and watch for the location header from the HTTP response.

As apparently sht.tl is down, I think having a way to use an alternative shortener has its merits...
