Streamline your organization's link infrastructure
Studies show that knowledge workers spend 19% of their day searching for information. Your friends spend 100% of their day asking you what the Jellyfin URL is. We can fix one of those.
Stop Texting That URL
go/plex. go/photos. go/nas. Your brother-in-law will still ask for the streaming link, but now you can say two words and hang up.
Onboard Your New "Users"
New friend? Partner? Someone who just got Tailscale access? Drop them a link to go/start and they'll figure the rest out. Probably.
URLs Change. Shortcuts Don't.
Migrated from Nginx to Caddy? Rebuilt your NAS? Your friends won't notice — the go-links still work. Just update the URL behind the slug. Zero retraining required.
Tag Your Entire Self-Hosted Empire
Organize links by service, project, or level of personal embarrassment. Browse by tag to find that obscure Gitea webhook you set up at 2am and never documented.
Co-Owners (Both of You)
Share ownership of a link with your one trusted co-admin. If you ever get hit by a bus, go/homelab will still work for the remaining five users of your platform.
Parameterized Shortcuts
go/jellyfin/{show}, go/gh/{repo} — because technically you only have one user asking for these, but making it a template felt really cool.
Powered by a stack your friends will never appreciate
