# Backlog review: 2026-09-21
Scope: all 47 open pull requests and all 9 open issues in 738/awesome-url-shortener. All proposed PR changes were confined to README.md. Bodies, diffs, and available discussion/review comments were inspected.
This document records proposed dispositions. The original PRs and issues remain open until the maintainer authorizes and applies the plan. The accompanying README incorporates 39 PRs, recommends closing one parked-domain proposal, and leaves seven PRs pending evidence. Eight issues can be resolved; one needs a working service URL.
## Verification and limits
- Checked official homepages, documentation, repository source/license declarations, redirect destinations, and HTTP/TLS responses. Access failures were retried.
- This is a directory review, not an end-to-end audit of every service. No paid accounts, registrations, or production short links were created.
- JavaScript-only pages were inspected through available HTML and public bundles. Browser execution could not be completed because the installed browse runtime lacked its expected Chromium build.
- HTTP 403, DNS failure, and TLS errors are observations, not proof of permanent shutdown. Existing affected services have a separate access-problems category; new inaccessible services are held.
- No GitHub Actions workflows or PR status checks were configured. README structure, ordering, duplicates, links, and whitespace were checked locally.

## Issues
| Issue | Proposed action | Reason and evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [#25](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/25) | Close as completed | rip.to was already added in merged PR #29 on 2024-01-15. This review separately records its current access failure. [Source](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/pull/29). |
| [#38](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/38) | Incorporate / close | Original repository is 404; the replacement repository has MIT licensing and self-hosting instructions. [Source](https://github.com/vaginessa/Twin-Url). |
| [#39](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/39) | Incorporate / close | Include URLed in the archived-projects category, not as an actively maintained project. [Source](https://github.com/masoncfrancis/urled). |
| [#60](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/60) | Incorporate / close | Include link2.it; the current homepage provides a shortening form. [Source](https://link2.it). |
| [#61](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/61) | Incorporate / close | gg.gg now shows a Good Game placeholder instead of its former shortening service. [Source](https://gg.gg). |
| [#64](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/64) | Hold open | Smally failed DNS resolution on repeated live checks. Search results contain an older page, so restoration or a working replacement is needed. [Source](https://smally.cc). |
| [#73](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/73) | Incorporate / close | wr.do redirects to LikeDo; include the current product and identify its former name. [Source](https://like.do). |
| [#77](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/77) | Incorporate / close | Remove from active services; the operator confirmed public access was disabled even though the website still loads. [Source](https://73.nu/shutdown-notice). |
| [#114](https://github.com/738/awesome-url-shortener/issues/114) | Incorporate / close | Move zlnk.com out of active services; the domain now leads to an Afternic sale listing. [Source](https://www.afternic.com/domain/zlnk.com). |
## Additional evidence for overlapping cleanup PRs
- [Kutt upstream warning](https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt#readme): kutt.it is no longer owned by the project; the current service is [kutt.to](https://kutt.to).
- [Buffer help](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/shortening-and-unshortening-links-dgev2p41yY) and [Hootsuite Ow.ly](https://www.hootsuite.com/pages/owly) document active built-in shortening.
- [Polr source](https://github.com/cydrobolt/polr) is accessible and not marked archived; the archive claim in #113 is unsupported.
- [reduced.to source](https://github.com/origranot/reduced.to) is marked archived on 2025-04-27.
- [lstu.fr](https://lstu.fr/login) explicitly restricts shortening to its owner; the self-hosted project remains available.
- [clicky.me](https://clicky.me) explicitly says it is in maintenance mode and cannot be actively used.
- [3.ly](https://www.3.ly/) currently offers a shortener and is restored to the active list.
- [shorten-url.com](https://shorten-url.com/en) still displays a service and plans; a sale notice alone does not establish shutdown.
