qbst.at short links to stats

Post by ScoBo »

I have set up a basic redirect service at qbst.at to automatically provide short links to Quizbowl Resource Database stat reports.

Instead of sharing a link like hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/6771/, you can share the short link qbst.at/6771 and it will redirect to the tournament page. It also supports links to specific reports, pages, team/player anchors, etc.

If you want a short link to your stats, simply paste your hsquizbowl stats link into the box on the qbst.at home page and it will generate it for you. It's all automatic, so if you understand the short URL format, you don't need to go to the webpage first to "activate" your links or anything like that.

It is likely that I will eventually add a way to create custom aliases to reports on pre-approved sites, if you'd rather have a link with a more descriptive name instead of the sequential ID of the database entry.
