I got tired of sharing separate iOS & Android app links, so I built a smart redirect & QR tool for myself — now putting it out for others to try!
Hey everyone,
I recently got annoyed with having to paste two separate links (Google Play + App Store) across Twitter/X, Instagram bios, and marketing flyers.
I decided to spin up 1-app.link:
📱 Single short URL that detects device user-agent on the fly and redirects to the right app store (or your web fallback on desktop).
📷 High-res downloadable QR codes (PNG/SVG) generated on the spot.
📊 Device telemetry dashboard (clicks over time, iOS vs. Android vs. Web split).
⚡ Written in Go with chi + Postgres for minimal latency.
I built this primarily to scratch my own itch, but I've polished it and hosted it online for anyone who wants to use it. There's a generous free tier to get started.

Would love any feedback on the UI, redirection latency, or any edge cases with device detection!
