Detailed Link Stats

Detailed Link Stats

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.

Improved Link Cards

Improved Link Cards

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!

Monthly Summaries

Monthly Summaries

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!

New Tag Creation Flow

New Tag Creation Flow

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!

Pass URL Parameters to Destination URL

Pass URL Parameters to Destination URL

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:

Team Invites

Team Invites

You can now invite teammates to your Dub workspace. This is useful if you want to collaborate with your team on a workspace.

Note: You can only invite teammates on a Pro plan or above. Learn more about inviting teammates.

Sign In With Google

Sign In With Google

You can now sign in to your Dub account with Google.

We're also deprecating email sign ups as they have been a constant source of spam and abuse (via phishing links).

If you have an existing Dub account, you will still be able to sign in with email, but we recommend connecting your Google account to enable Google sign in moving forward.

We've also added a "Delete Account" feature to the settings page. You can now delete your Dub account and all associated data, if that's what you want to do.

All-Time Link Stats

All-Time Link Stats

You can now view the all-time statistics for each of your Dub shortlinks via the "All Time" filter option.

Note: This is a Pro-only feature, along with the 90-day ("Last 3 months") filter.

Shoutout to Matt for the feature request!

Introducing Tags

Introducing Tags

Update (July 2, 2023): We are changing the way you create tags on Dub (changelog).

Introducing Tags – a smarter way to manage your links on Dub.

With tags, you can now:

  1. Organize your links by campaigns, clients, or any other categories you can think of.
  2. Filter your links by tags and get a shareable link to the filtered results.
  3. Easily edit/delete your tags with a Notion-style dropdown interface.

This has been a highly requested feature since day one (shoutout to our friends at Refine as well), and we're excited to finally ship it!

Improved Link Management

Improved Link Management

Today, we are introducing a range of improvements to our link management offering:

  1. Archiving links: You can now archive your links with the click of a button. Archived links will still work & accrue stats, but will be hidden on your dashboard by default.

  2. Show my links only: You can now filter your workspace's links with the "Show my links only" filter, which will hide all links created by other users in your organization, and only show links that you created.

  3. Allow '/' in custom shortlinks1: You can now use '/' in your custom shortlinks. This is useful for adding structure to your shortlinks, e.g. doma.in/r/abc. Huge shoutout to Alex Bass from Efficient for this feature request!

1 This feature is only available for shortlinks with a custom domain, not dub.sh links.
