Unique link for deals

Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been suggested already. This post is particularly made with Reddit in mind. I found out about the service via a post on the /r/Vive sub reddit letting people know that Holoball was the daily deal here. From my email subscription there has been at least one more VR / VR enabled game turn up. I wanted to share that but had difficulties as the main URL of chrono.gg has already been posted so Reddit wouldn’t allow it.

Given the audience share that could be earned from Reddit in general, I thought it would be a good idea if each daily deal could have a ‘permalink’ with it which is unique to the deal and not the root domain of the site. These could be time limited before defaulting to redirect users to the main homepage with a ‘deal expired’ notice perhaps.

I managed to get around the block by posting a copy of the email link but presumably that kind of action screws with your internal analytics a bit, hence the suggestion for an alternative.

Hey, that’s a fantastic idea and definitely something we plan on doing in the future. In the meantime, one tip is to add an argument at the end of the URL that doesn’t actually change anything like www.chrono.gg/?=test123.

Aha, I should have thought of that :slight_smile: But yeah, a nice user friendly shareable link would be handy going forwards. Thanks!

Good thing we also have the forums for posterity.
