Looks great but why dependency and lock in to a specific cloud provider?

Cool. Checking it out.<p>For those looking for more options, Dub[1] is a matured open-source[2] link shortener with Analytics.<p>For not-so-large volumes of links, say for friends-family, and the occasional public links, you can run something off Github Pages[3] with their built-in Jekyll + Redirect-From Plugin[4]. If you do not want to, you do not even need to have the code run locally, just edit on Github. I run one to easily share links for the family and relatives (photos, that document link, along with the Rick-Roll Video).<p>Tip: If one wants to run an indie or personal or family&#x2F;friends shortlink for easy sharing, try to have it on your own domain. This allowed me to moved between tools that powers it.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dub.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dub.co</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dubinc&#x2F;dub">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dubinc&#x2F;dub</a><p>3. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com</a><p>4. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jekyll&#x2F;jekyll-redirect-from">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jekyll&#x2F;jekyll-redirect-from</a>

PSA: Don&#x27;t shorten URLs if you don&#x27;t have to because if the shortener ceases working your link is dead.

There is no real good use case for url shorteners. If the platform doesn&#x27;t support hyperlinks, that platform is simply not up to the task.
