Show HN: O's URL Lengthener

I like how there's absolutely no easy way to distinguish different lengthened URLs from each other. Who wants to play roulette? :P

    enc = ["o", "ο", "о", "ᴏ"]
    //           006f 03bf 043e 1d0f

(Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and "extra small capitals" from phonetic alphabet extensions -- if you were wondering).

After three iterations I get a 414 Request-URI Too Large. Good job.

Funny. Reminds me of "Thank you for calling A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A Auto repair" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1UzSn1LSro

This is great!

I've been running into a small issue: this website has no problem generating URLs which are too long for itself:)

For instance, I managed to get the following output:

> https://ooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo/ooooοооoοᴏοoοᴏοoοᴏooοᴏoᴏ...

which gives me a 414 request URI too large.

This looks like a fun way to send links to your friends. They don't know where they will end up and they're up for a surprise.

Can't wait for someone to rickroll me with these lengthened "o" links.

Besides the joke this lengthener is very useful tu generate url that people will click just because curiosity

Sneaky. I like it.

Zoom links just got prettier ;)

what fun! I love it. oooooooooo
