Hi HN — we built Rebly as a privacy-first, ad-free alternative to Bitly.

Rebly focuses on: - End-to-end HTTPS - No ads, no trackers, no link hijacking - Optional self-hosting - Rate-limited APIs and abuse protection

Tech stack: - React + Node.js - PostgreSQL + Redis - Deployed on Render - Stripe for subscriptions

We built this because most URL shorteners today monetize clicks and data. Rebly is designed to stay simple, fast, and secure.

Feedback is very welcome.
