RunRevLive.11

Posted  

During RunRevLive.11 I gave a talk about web stuff with LiveCode (then called Runtime Revolution, aka RunRev). I spoke about Social Network integration.

Memories from the event

For many years I’ve operated my own URL shortening website called fon.nu. I’ve stopped using it many years ago but for many many years it was alive and used by thousands of people. I’ve found a mail message from the day before the conference detailing the creation of the service. The service was originally created to add short urls to my slides. I’ve used it all the way into the Firefox OS and Mozilla era of my life and the original URLs for my books footnotes all used it. The service was even used as an example of good feature set to be implemented in other competing services. Proud of my little tool. Its source is available from sourcehut.
