Addy Creates A Custom URL For Instant Address Sharing

The next time someone asks for your or your office’s address and contact details, wouldn’t it be easier to have a ready link you can send them? Webapp Addy lets you create cool contact cards with a map, along with a custom URL that’s easy to remember.

The interface is simple to use. First, drag a pin onto the embedded OpenStreetMaps map. Addy will automatically pick up the address of the place, but if need be, you can add specifics like apartment number or directional cues like “next to” and “across from”.

You also need to give it a name and a unique URL address. For example, if it’s for my home, I could make it “addy.co/mihirpatkar” or if it’s for a workplace, use “addy.co/lifehacker“.

Finally, put in your email, mobile phone number and website, along with any notes for the person. Parking is an issue on my street, so I made a note of that to warn visitors.

You can share the URL with anyone and it works perfectly on desktop as well as mobile browsers.

The only downside is that at the moment, you can only create one Addy at a time. For additional Addys, you need to send feedback to the team or refer friends to the site. A pro account will be rolled out soon for more entries.
