Every Friday, I publish one essay & 10 interesting things that will help you become healthy, wealthy and wise 👇
Essay of the week - prdo.xyz
I’ve been wanting to get a shorter domain name that’s easy to remember.
My personal website is pradologue.com it’ll be the same in the future too. The only thing that changes now is that I have an URL shortener. Introducing Prdo.xyz
Why?
I spend lots of time on the internet and I consistently share links that I’ve previously written. For example: If someone’s talking about long-term thinking and I reply with a small caption and share this link https://pradologue.substack.com/p/cathedral-thinkers
Now there are three problems here:
I have to remember the stupidly long link and type it out without opening the link.
There is a /p/ in the link that makes no sense.
There are hundreds of links like these to remember.
Solution: prdo.xyz/ct
Voila.
You click on prdo.xyz/ct it’ll directly take you to https://pradologue.substack.com/p/cathedral-thinkers
I wanted to build it on my own.
I even watched a couple of videos to build it but then I realised it was time-consuming and I had a lot on my plate… so I just used another platform called t.ly and paid $5/month for the custom domain. They also have a Chrome extension where I can easily shorten links and edit the link too.
Now, I can remember more links and type them out faster. Even while saying folks I don’t have to spell out my whole website. I can just say check out prdo.xyz and it’ll take them to pradologue.com.

(Tweet this quote)“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.” - Rick Rubin
(Tweet this quote)“I’d rather be sober wishing I was drunk, than drunk wishing I was sober”
