Show HN: DeepLinkNow, a privacy-first deferred deep linking SaaS for devs
DeepLinkNow (DLN) is a deferred deep linking SaaS. For those who don't know, "deep linking" is when a URL is used to open an app to a specific page; "deferred deep linking" is used when you send a user a link, they click it, they don't have your app installed, they install it, and you "defer" the place they intended to go and launch it for them.
An example: I share a link a post in my cool new social app. You click the link. You don't have the app installed. If/when you install the app, DLN tells the app the link you were looking for and the app can route you where it needs to.
Why I built DLN: I wrote a blog post about it https://deeplinknow.com/blog/why-I-built-this .
Long story short, the leading platforms for deep linking are AD PLATFORMS. Their main value is MMP/PPC ad performance marketing, and they nefariously track users all over the internet to capture as much information about them as possible.
I track nothing. I don't care what ad your users clicked, I delete fingerprints as soon as they're accessed or expired. You can BYO analytics tools (you already use them anyway!) and use them. I'm just here to send your users to the right place.
I've got some video guides here to give you an idea of how it all works: https://deeplinknow.com/docs/guides
Anyway, that's my shpiel. I'm coming out of beta now and am ready for public users. Would love for you to check it out, and if you're a business who uses deferred deep linking - I want your business! I'm actively building features that my users request and want to make the world of cross-platform tracking both privacy and developer friendly.
