The current share URL is too long; we need to look into shortening it while still leaving it open to manipulation by external APIs. This might pair well with #25

Idea: Use Bit.ly or other shortening service's API

Because Bit.ly is rate-limited, we should have a way for the share URL to only be generated on-demand.
