About Short.io
Short.io stops being just a shortener — Link Bundles enter link-in-bio, Organizations get a real billing model.
Short.io is publishing tight monthly digests. The two structural moves of the last six months are Link Bundles (Linktree-style customizable landing pages) launched in February and the promotion of Organizations to a first-class concept in March, completed in April with full subscription, payment-method, billing-info, and SAML/SSO support. Around them: multi-way A/B testing, AI tag suggestions, audit logs for all plans, S3 raw-click export, OpenGraph product type, and an OpenGraph debug tool.
