Rebrandly is a service for managing shortlinks. Shortlinks are great for community stuff, as it makes it easier to communicate and remember all the important places by a shortlink keyword.

Rebrandly is free to up to 500 shortlinks. It's easy to swap out as that limit is approached, in favour of an open source thing.

I'd like to use shortlinks for the Conversa Polis User Croup call link, so that the tool beneath can be swapped out without updating docs. For e.g., we're currently using https://meet.jit.si/pol.is, but maybe we want to start using https://meet.jit.si/conversa-calls (any room on same service), or GatherTown (another service completely)

For now, these links will be changed directly in rebrandly. I've added login credentials in this doc as a temporary measure:

Not an ideal process, but going to merge so that I can use this for the weekly call. If anything about the above seems suspect, pls do raise, and I'm happy to roll-back or incorporate feedback 🙏

Alternatives -- could use link.conversa.g0v.network instead of link.g0v.network (though also happy to do that migration later -- i.e. use a more top-level subdomain until others join and it gets crowded, and then push up a level)
