• Access Settings / History On Right Click On Firefox
• Option to Set Custom URL (User Specific)
• Option to Disable Auto Shortening
• Show Link to Dashboard
• Right Click on Links Showing Shorten Options

Features like custom url shortenining requires much more validation(should throw error if already taken and all). This is not good for the minimal UI the extension has.

The purpose of this extension is to shorten on click so disabling autoshortening doesn't seem like a good choice.

Maybe if that feature is added, the custom url shortening could be implemented easily

In future I'm going to add a ability to allow multiple custom domains for each user. So the extension would need to allow the user to select custom domain.

@poet I co do that. But I need some UI Ideas and also recommendations on implementing this feature.

The UX must be better than those available in the store with such features as well.

Also, I will maybe rewrite it using react.

@poeti8 any updates on this?

Here's is what I came up with quickly as I'm working on API v2, feel free to adjust spacing, font-size and etc.

Domain should be a dropdown of user domains (kutt.it should be default). Domains can be fetched via /settings, can be fetched every time or we can save it and have a refresh button along side settings to refresh data.
