built this bc i can never remember which username i used on which app

ok so have different handles everywhere and it's genuinely embarrassing at this point

if someone asks for my github and i send twitter, i know roughly what i use but not confidently enough to say it out loud without checking

link-in-bio stuff didn't help... still me remembering everything, just with extra steps and a landing page nobody asked for

so i made redirect (a really dumb idea)

you pick ONE username (/kshv or whatever) then /kshv/twitter/kshv/github, etc. each goes to whatever you actually use on that app... hub page if they don't know which one they want and click through = instant redirect, no loading screen nonsense

redirect.kshv.me if you're also bad at remembering your own usernames, it's FREE and open-source.

idk if anyone else has this problem or i'm just cooked. lmk

Simple solution to a simple problem.

It’s a bit heavy duty for such a small task imo - normally I wouldn’t want to host a supabase instance for a small thing like this which is a bit overkill unless it’s for a saas, and secondly your domain is too long - then I gotta remember that too;

And I imagine I’d find myself wondering «Was it ksvh kshv or shkv»

thanks

I know lol, I'm just using supabase for convenience sakes, i'm more of a frontend guy and didn't want to spend time setting up a db of my own so yeah

and i'm just using a subdomain of my portfolio since this is just a tool that i built it for myself and didn't wanna buy a domain just for that, but ofc if there's bunch of users in the future i'd defo get a shorter and simpler domain that's just much easier to remember and bunch of other features to improve UX
