Changelog

Update (Dec '23): You can now use hyperlinks in your comments – shoutout to Aakash for the PR!

You can now use comments to add context to your short links – for you and your team.

Learn more about link comments.

You can now search for the best thumbnail image for your short link using our new Unsplash integration.

This is a significant improvement to our Custom Link Previews feature, which allows you to customize the title, description, and image of your short link when sharing on social media.

Alternatively, you can also paste a URL to an image of your choice or upload / drag-and-drop an image from your computer to use as the thumbnail image.

Check out a demo of this feature.

You can now paginate through your links in the Dub dashboard.

This is useful if you have a lot of links and want to browse through them quickly.

Shoutout to Alex Bass from Efficient for the feature request!

You can now mask your destination URL with your short link using the new link cloaking feature.

When link cloaking is enabled, your short link will be shown in your users' browser address bar when they visit your link instead of the destination URL.

Learn more about Link Cloaking in our help center.

You can now set custom QR codes for your links on Dub's Pro plan.

This is useful for creating personalized QR codes to make your promotional material stand out from the crowd.

We've added "View All" buttons for the Locations, Devices, and Referrer sections on the Link Stats page.

When clicked, this opens up a modal that lets you explore all data points for a given section via a fuzzy search interface. Here's an example.

This is helpful for sections like City that tend to have a lot of data points. Instead of scrolling through a long list, you can now search for a specific city.

We've improved the design of link cards on Dub to make them more readable – without sacrificing functionality.

The QR Code modal has been moved to the ⋮ dropdown on the right. It can also be accessed via the q keyboard shortcut.

The link creation timestamp has been converted to absolute timestamps (e.g. Mar 26) for links created more than 24 hours ago. This is similar to the way Twitter displays timestamps, and has better readability (as opposed to 110d ago).

Shoutout to Sean, Alex, and Jason for the feedback!

We're excited to launch monthly summaries – a monthly email newsletter that gives you an overview of your Dub activity for the month.

This includes statistics like:

• Total number of clicks across all links
• Number of new links created
• Top 5 best performing links

Shoutout to Mahmoud for the feature request!

We're improving the way you create tags on Dub.

Instead of a separate link tagging modal, we've combined it with the link creation flow. This makes it easier to create tags, and also allows you to add tags to your links as you create them.

Shoutout to Fazle from Hashnode for the feature request!

You can now pass URL query parameters (utm_source, ref, etc.) from your short link to its destination URL.

If there are any duplicate parameters, the parameter in the short link will override its counterpart in the destination URL. For example:

• d.to/oss redirects to vercel.com/oss?ref=dub
• d.to/oss?ref=dub.co redirects to vercel.com/oss?ref=dub.co
