Hi,<p>I have been a solo-dev working on Blanq[1] for more than a year now. It is a powerful link shortening platform that supports custom domains, SSL and traffic routing. I released the API to simply link management for you. The plans are cost-effective and the service is extremely reliable(99.99% uptime).<p>The backend is Java Spring based with Mysql as DB. To generate docs, I have used Redoc open source tool that relies on Open API spec. I will soon release Zapier integration as well.<p>For graphs, I have used apex charts that are a pleasure to use. The UI is built on Vue and uses some third party plugins.<p>Here&#x27;s an example of analytics <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blanq.io&#x2F;analytics.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blanq.io&#x2F;analytics.html</a><p>I am an advocate of privacy and have tried to incorporate as many best practices as possible to avoid identifying users.<p>I am open to feedback and would love to hear your experience.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blanq.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blanq.io</a>
