Here's the link you can send to people: https://thislink.works/{{created.code}}.
And here's something you shouldn't send to people. Anyone using this URL can edit your link: https://thislink.works/{{created.code}}/edit/{{created.password}}.
This Link Works is easiest to explain with an example: thislink.works/7a3f8. That's a countdown to 2022. When the end of the countdown is reached, anyone viewing the page will be redirected to a secret URL.
Here's the same thing, but embedded:
The magic thing is that I, the link creator, can change anything about that page: where it sends people, when it sends people there, and what it says until then! Any change takes place instantly, for everyone.
This is great for events, e.g. a countdown to a live stream, especially if you don't know the stream URL yet.
It's also useful as a dynamic URL shortener. Put a link in your Instagram bio that always points to the latest thing you're promoting.
It's also a great way to display a small amount of updatable text. For example, has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet? (an homage to the original).
Just click the red button!
You can also embed this on your own page! Just paste this code anywhere:
{{ line }}
{{ countdown }}
