Termination of MetaShort.co Service

I am sad to announce that I will be shutting down the MetaShort service, effective immediately. MetaShort has been a wonderful project to work on, and it has been amazing seeing the number of people that found value in the product. Unfortunately the project has become unmaintainable given server issues, Twitter blocking MetaShort links, and misuse of the MetaShort platform for the promotion of indecent and deceptive links. All of this coupled with low subscriber numbers has led to my decision today.

I have terminated all active Pro subscriptions and have processed refunds for anyone that had a monthly payment in the past month. Please allow 3–5 business days for these refunds to process.

In an attempt to help MetaShort live on, I have made the code open-source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/toaster99/metashort-public. I hope the community can help the project to continue and grow well beyond what I was able to do for it.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. It’s been a wild ride, and I would like to thank everyone for being a part of it!
