The Pitch: Stop sending clunky, paragraph-long URLs. Preview "01" is a minimalist tool designed to turn messy YouTube links into clean, high-performance "vanity" shorts. Unlike standard shorteners, "01" is built specifically for creators and curators who want their links to look as professional as their content. Core Features
Easily bake "Start at" times into your shortened link with a simple toggle (e.g., 01.yt/v/DanceScene?t=45 ).
Automatically strips tracking parameters (like &feature=shared or &si=... ) to ensure a clean aesthetic.
Click "Snap" and get a link that looks like this: 01.yt/A6X7 . Tagline Ideas "Zero clutter. One link." "Make your links as sharp as your 4K." "The shortest distance between a click and a view."
A sleek dashboard to see how many people clicked, where they came from, and which parts of the world are watching. User Experience (The Flow) Paste: Drop any YouTube URL into the "01" terminal. Customize: Choose a custom slug (e.g., 01.yt/MyNewVlog ).
When a user hovers over an 01 link, it generates a tiny, low-data "live" preview gif of the video thumbnail.
