PromoLinks - Clickable Promo Code Links

Seeing as Apple have finally enabled worldwide use of App Store Promo Codes, I figured that it was high time I put together an OS X app that generated clickable links from those codes.

When listing promo codes on the web, simply linking to https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/freeProductCodeWizard?code=**YOURCODEHERE** will automatically redeem that code in iTunes when a user clicks on the link. This is a really useful little feature, so I've created an app that creates links from a list of codes.

PromoLinks can generate either HTML or vBulletin code for your links. It's hosted on Github, so feel free to add your own additional formats.

You can download the app here. It's only been tested on Snow Leopard, but should work fine on Leopard.
