I'm hoping the community embraces it like they did with imgur.com, but observing Reddit's fickle nature, I'm withholding my expectations. My real concern is that Reddit (or Condé Nast) will frown upon the domain similarity and come after me. Not that they'd get much from my asset-less student self, but I'm not looking for trouble.
I tried my best to give rddd.it a different theme, as to not infringe on Reddit's trademark.
So why did I do this? In a saturated market of URL shorteners, I decided that the best course of action would be to start my own. This sort of logic can only come from somebody who was dropped on his head one too many times as a baby.
And since I'm secretly having an affair with HN, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share it with you guys first. I even gave HN it's own URL for easy access. I hope you like it:

The site isn't complete yet, some minor tweaking/polishing still needs to be done. Do wish me luck!
