Subject: [New Contrib Feature] Automatic URL shortening via Bitly
Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 22:14:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FBEEB17.1060309@neilsmithline.com> (raw)
Just thought I'd let you know about two projects I've been working on
that, when combined, make Org even cooler than it already is.
A few months ago I took over maintenance of Emacs' bitly.el. I really
worked it over, fixed some bugs, and, most importantly, I made it
default to doing an asynchronous call to Bitly. Now you just ask it to
shorten an URL and, sometime in the near future, it will.
I just recently wrote org-auto-shorten-url. It binds to the `]' key in
Org Mode. When you type `]', it does some sanity checks to see if you
just finished typing a link. If you have, it calls `bitly-shorten-url'
in the background to shorten the URL.
The net net of this is that as you are typing an URL in Org Mode:
[[http://example.com][Example]]
The http://example.com will magically be transformed into a Bitly URL. I
now use this for all of my HTML links. Due to technical complications,
inline image links don't work and probably never will.
You can grab the two packages from Github. They have a dependency on my
`defhook' package though you can convert that to a straight `add-hook'
call if you don't want to use defhook (though I think it is real cool).
