If anyone would like to see both the custom URLs and password protection in action without submitting a link, I've set one up here:

http://fry.io/@google

which goes to Google. The password is just 'hackernews'

Its pretty impressive and I love the use of flatUI :), but I can't see any Custom Subdomains?

Thanks! I've wanted an excuse to use it for a while :-) Sorry, that was my mistake. I meant 'Custom URLs.' So like http://fry.io/@google There is plans for custom subdomains but that's in development. I've updated the title accordingly.

I like the design and everything works great! I may have found some strange behavior, I don't know if this is supposed to happen or whether it's part of the way URLs work. When I type my email address *@msn.com in my browsers URL field it displays an error. But when I shorten the link via Fry.IO, it point me to msn.com. I.E. test@msn.com -> http://fry.io/f4 -> msn.com

Hmm that's interesting. If I go to: http://test@msn.com in Chrome on Ubuntu (Version 24.0.1312.56) I just get redirected to msn.com. Have you tried it with the 'http://? It's stored in the DB as:

http://test@msn.com
