Extension summary
Since a Chrome extension allowing me to utilize my existing shorte.st account to quickly and automatically generate shortened URLs of the current page in Chrome tab just by clicking a browser button did not exist, I decided to write one.
First of all, if you have not already joined shorte.st and wish to earn $ for every shortened url you generate, please join using my link so I get a tiny referral:
https://shorte.st/ref/06e39344d5
It takes only a minute to join, and they have multiple simple payout options like Paypal. Why wouldn't you want to earn a little $ with your posted links? Their simple ad-supported short link redirection is super-quick and unobtrusive so check it out!
If you are already an active member, this extension will generate and automatically copy to the clipboard a shorte.st link of the current tab being viewed using your account API token using the single button added in the Chrome toolbar.
For 1st time setup, it requires logging into your shorte.st account, and visiting the developer API page at:
If you execute without having stored your personal API token, it is okay. The extension will prompt you and provide a link to the required page. It is the only option required.
