Easy to use, low barrier with no sign-up forms via basic auth in URL
From 1 comment
I like the basic auth in the URL. I've always thought that websites should use less sign up forms and more quick easy solutions like this.

fiatjaf on HNI think bit.ly is certainly a more robust API. My goal here was to create something extremely easy to use and also learn a bit in the process.
