Zipline URL Shortener Extension

This extension allows you to connect to your Zipline server and create short URLs quickly and easily without leaving the page you want to share.

It connects securely to your server using the Zipline API and authentication token. It makes requests for the Zipline server to create the short URL of your chosen destination and then automatically copies it to the clipboard. Optionally, you can also choose to use a vanity path for the short URL rather than using the random string that is normally used.
