Ever wanted to have your own custom branded URL shortener like mysto.re/1? Daunted by the costly set up and maintenance for using other URL shortener scripts and services? Or you are just a guy who has a domain and wants to share cool personalized short links with your friends? Then this is for you! This script allows you to host a URL shortener piggybacking on the services that GitHub provides. Therefore, there is no need for maintenance, and your shortener will perform as reliably as GitHub. Demo: - nlsn.cf/110 links to this post. - To create a new short link, create an issue in this page: nlsn.cf/2 (GitHub account required) - The issue title should be the link you want to shorten (with the http(s)://) - Submit the issue, and the newly created short url can be accessed via nlsn.cf/{issue_number} Due to the hacky nature of these scripts, this did gain some popularity on Hacker News. Currently, this project has > 700 stars on GitHub and I hope that you guys will find it interesting too!
