Not Safe for Work?

This post was published 3 years 9 months 28 days ago. There is a chance that some APIs or software versions discussed have changed since this article was written.

A website called NSFW.in has a nifty service that shortens the url of a link, and warns the potential clicker that the content is not safe for work. This is a simple and considerate solution for people who send links via chat or e-mail, as it saves the recipient the embarassment of opening something NSFW at work.

According to NSFW.in, the reason for such a service is obvious:

Ever clicked a link and felt embarrassed with the content in front of your co-workers?

Ever caught unaware because the funny link your friend sent was a little beyond funny?

They can make the decision to come back to it when they’re home, if they don’t work in a place where anal bleaching and fisting is routinely discussed.
