I was always fixated with URL shorteners and always wanted to write one myself. While it would be easy to write one that works with a server, I loved the idea of hosting and running one for free.
Thus, I wrote this URL shortener which does not need a backend to work at all. It uses GitHub issues as a "database", and unlike most other URL shorteners that do not need backends, this one doesn't need a # prefixed to the alias. (i.e. short URLs look clean like this: nlsn.cf/1 instead of looking like this: nlsn.cf/#1)
I haven't had the time to work on it more but do let me know what you guys think! Thank you and hope yall enjoy it!
