# 
[schmarty] for what it's worth, their announcement only referred to `https://goo.gl` URLs shutting down. i am taking that to mean subdomains like http://maps.app and http://forms.app will still work.
# [schmarty] ha, sorry, forms are `forms.gle`

# [schmarty] i guess "non-developers" are fine to keep using them :zany_face:
