Note

• Kutt.it API permits 50 URLs shortening per day using the API Key.
• Enable Custom Host option to use with self-hosted kutt
  • Save the self hosted domain in the input (eg: https://mykutt.it)
    • Note: the api endpoint is automatically appended during the api call.
• Delay at times while shortening might be the issue with Kutt.it API and not with the extension's.

kutt-extension's Issues

Custom URL not working.

Irrelevant.
Closing.

migrate to v2 api for link shortening

• issue a warning message to users(who have set up custom target) about upgrading kutt shortener to v2 API

If you have the warning message appear like this

Please migrate to kutt.it v2 latest release

If you have upgraded your custom hosted kutt to the latest version and still have this warning message, please ignore as the next release will remove the message(minor patch will be up just as the users are aware of v2 api)

Major update will take time as extension is rewritten from scratch

If you have any questions, please comment below.

[Feature] Work with Self Hosted Kutt

Hello,

Please add a config so the self host kutt (hosted on own cloud with own domain) can build extensions. config only need url of self hosted kutt.

restrict invalid urls

restrict urls starting with chrome:// from sending to shorten

Edge Browser Support | Add to readme

The latest dev build of Edge Browser(based on Chromium) supports the extension and works flawlessly.
It can be installed from Chrome store like for Opera.

Adding the instructions for installation and also adding edge to supported browsers list to readme.md with correct version.

[BUG] Fix the custom url trail causing error

When a user uses local kutt server and goes in address with a / it will fail to work, maybe a fix for this is not hard, a website would normally resolve both / and non trailing addresses.

[BUG] Avoid URL DUPLICATES

For example:

we can wee I made some tests and we have 3 sites different url shortened. Maybe just to seek if it was previously shortened and recover it, or cache it...

[Feature] Cross Browser Support

[BUG] Babel Transpiling to browser versions

Firefox: 52 -> Mar 7, 2017
Chrome: 55 -> Dec 1, 2016
Opera: 42 -> Dec 13, 2016

[Feature] On-installed Options Page

Opening up options page on install for setting API key.

[BUG] CORS Exclusion rules or some fix?

I just enabled CORS in Kutt deployment for security testing. What ever is super funny that the plugin works fine from Firefox:

Not working from Chrome / Opera.

_generated_background_page.html:1 Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://uhl.site/api/url/submit' from origin 'chrome-extension://hjfddajaffgcaickfkfdapafihjbcacl' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header has a value 'https://uhl.site' that is not equal to the supplied origin.
uhl.site/api/url/submit:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Feature: custom url shortening

I see that there is no option to set any custom URL, only the generated one has to be used? This doesn't solve the complete purpose.

A great extension, though! Thanks @abhijithvijayan!

I would highly appreciate it if you can come up with this solution.

Remove CSS SourceMaps in Production

[BUG] Polyfill Code Duplication and Uglify JS issue

[Bug]
separate file for webextension-polyfill(see comments in webpack.config.js) and fixing uglify js

provide seamless migration for existing users to upcoming major version

• Set up a function to update extension settings (from browser local storage)
  to the new settings keys
  Map the keys like autoCopy : true to the new

"settings": {
   "autocopy": true,
   ...
}

on the installation / initialization of new major version.

• Remove this feature after all the users have switched to the new major version

Without this mapping, the extension will UX issues for those who are using it currently.

[Feature] Separate manifest.json files

[Check] Are the final releases available in their APP Stores?

IE Is version 2.3.0 available on FF Chrome and Opera Stores?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kutt/versions/

Improve "copied" text UI

Change the text to "Copied to clipboard.", make the color the same green as in Kutt and move it to the top of the URL (absolute position). Also, a little bit smaller maybe.
Just to make it look more like Kutt's website and also to get rid of the glitchy feeling caused by the change in the height.

Release

3.1.1 is released.

In case one uses self hosted version of Kutt, would be great to have the linked url from

You can see there in the left corner the link sends me to kutt.it/login, instead of sending me to my custom URL.

Since Safari is default OSX Browser, guess would be great to have kutt.it in it. I would be glad to help with debugging solving issues for such.
