Slash Shortcuts

Slash Shortcuts is a handy tool designed to make handling and sharing links in your digital workspace a breeze.

What is a Shortcut?

A Shortcut is a simplified version of a link with essential details, making it easy to remember, organize, and share. Let's break down the key elements:

  • Name: Your chosen label for the Shortcut. This becomes a crucial part of the URL, enabling direct and quick access to the Shortcut. For example, if your Shortcut is named "meet-john", the direct access link would be s/meet-john. This user-defined name significantly enhances the accessibility and recognition of your Shortcuts.
  • Link: The original web link you want to streamline.
  • Title: A quick overview of what's behind the link.
  • Tags: Custom labels for easy sorting.
  • Description: A short summary of the content.
  • Visibility: Controls who can access the Shortcut.

How to Use Shortcuts

  1. Define the Link: Paste the original link you want to simplify.
  2. Add Details: Give it a name, tags, and a brief description for better organization.
  3. Set Visibility: Choose who should be able to access the Shortcut.
