Managing Your URL Shortener via ATProto PDS

atpr.to is a specialized URL shortening service designed specifically for the AT Protocol, ensuring that your redirected links remain under your direct control.

Unlike traditional services, atpr.to stores your shortened links directly within your own Personal Data Server (PDS). This means you aren't just renting a link; you own the data.

🚀 Key Capabilities

The platform provides a comprehensive dashboard where you can manage your redirects with ease:

• Full Lifecycle Management: You can $\text{Create} \rightarrow \text{Edit} \rightarrow \text{Delete}$ your short links.
• Visual Assets: Every link automatically generates a QR code, which can be exported as an SVG file for high-quality printing.
• Efficient Organization: Use the instant search and filter tools to locate specific links without delay.

🔐 Ownership & Permanence

Centralized link databases $\rightarrow$ Decentralized PDS storage.

Because these links are cryptographically tied to your handle or DID, they belong to you forever. You are no longer dependent on a single company's database to keep your links active.

Comparison: Traditional vs. atpr.to

🛠 Technical Integration

For developers, atpr.to offers a JSON API to allow for programmatic link generation and management.

API Endpoint Example: atpr.to/@atpr.to/self

Implementation Snippet: The interface utilizes modern web components for a seamless experience:

<input 
  suggestions = [] 
  status = "200" 
  autocomplete="off" 
  aria-autocomplete="list" 
  :placeholder="placeholder" 
  required 
>
