Hey, first of all thanks for your wonderful project (and congrats on the launch!)

Bre.ad used to be a URL shortener back in 2011–2014 – this means there are still links pointing to it on the Internet. They usually contain six characters, like bre.ad/03qbgh. Currently, these links are broken. If you have analytics enabled, you might have noticed visits to these URLs.

Folks at @ArchiveTeam have managed to scrape half of the possible URLs before the original Bread shut down. It would be nice if you could add those as redirects to their original location and help prevent the link rot. You can of course add some interstitial to promote your project too :-)

Oh, sure thing! I'll look into adding those.
