Slinky - send newsletters with the right links, all the links and nothing but those links !

Slinky is a browser extension that analyses links on webpages (link checking, counting, validation, ...) using WebAssembly (Rust).

The end use case is to compare a newsletter preview to the spec of expected links. Future features include :

• checking for duplicate links
• checking for missing links
• checking for broken links.
