Tried it out and works like a charm. Super simple, I like it :) Could you elaborate on what tinyurl and bit.ly are doing which you are not?

@kevinbensmith Well we don't have accounts, and we don't link what URL's you've created to any kind of fingerprint. Our database is a key-value where the key is the ending, and the value is the URL. No extra data stored.

I wrote this very simple url shortener to be an alternative to bloated programs like tinyurl and bit.ly. It's dead-simple and privacy respecting, as well as being open-source and self hostable! The website also has builtin support for self-hosted instances via a settings pane.

I love the CLI option. Could you elaborate more on the "privacy-respecting", please!

@bogomep Well, there are no accounts or fingerprints to track you, and our database is key-value where the key is the ending, and the value is the URL. There is no extra data stored beside that.
