Once I wanted to host a link shortener service like bitly for personal use, but most existing open-source solutions seems to heavy to me. Therefore, I started to create my wheel. Yet, another link shortener.


Inspired by a simple project called xvo.es, a serverless link shortener that gained its inspiration from another link shortener called clink, I decided to improve generating static sites by starting another project. Then, ssshort is here, implemented in the shell script.

Usage

  1. Fork the repository or import to GitLab
  2. Change the content in the file _redirect
  3. Deploy to Cloudflare. The command should be ./update-index.sh
  4. Enjoy
