🔗 Minimal URL is a modern URL shortener with support for custom alias by Liyas Thomas

Follow this tutorial to create your own URL shortener with support for custom alias & can be hosted even in GitHub pages: How to create your own custom URL shortener in 10 minutes for free & deploy to GitHub 🚀

Features ✨

😍 URL shortning made simple: mnmlurl uses jsonstore.io to store data on an endpoint JSON file using HTTPS requests. It works on any url.

❤️ No server side logging: Your privacy is important for us. We never log, collect or prompt to sell your data to anyone.

🔥 Custom and random alias support: Add your own custom alias or generate a random one.

🔢 Generate QR code: Create and download shortened URL's QR code.

⚗️ Manage URLs: Delete already created alias to update/create new URLs.

⚡ Performance: mnmlurl is a thin web app on top of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Being a Progressive web app, mnmlurl offers lightning fast loading and offline support via workbox and service worker.

💁 Browser extension: Get mnmlurl Chrome browser extension

Minimal URL can be hosted on any website hosting services like GitHub/GitLab pages, Firebase/Heroku hosting, yoursite.com, etc. For hosting in such custom domains, Its advised to npm run-scripts build and upload output folder. Hosting on GitHub pages was just for proof of concept.

IMPORTANT: Minimal URL is an experimental project. Don't shorten sensitive contents/URLs with it. jsonstore.io endpoints are always public making shortened URLs visible for everyone.

mnmlurl's Issues

Redirection logic

I have looked through the code but I still didn't get how you are redirecting the website to the original URL whenever a shortened URL Is being entered. can you point me to the code for the same?

Fork of Fossurl?

It seems this codebase is a fork of FossURL which I wrote last year. But you haven't put any mention of that and even Your LICENSE file still contains my name as copyright holder.

I hope you'll put a mention of FossURL.

Your URL Shortener

Hi,

I liked the script, I only uploaded the src folder and it worked fine,
Should i upload the other files too ? Besides, please remove the # from the generated keyword string,
http://icu2.cf/m/

Possibility to import and export data

Dont use https://www.jsonstore.io/

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I noticed that you use jsonstore.io as storage. It’s an insecure place to store data.

Describe the solution you'd like
To use a private storage method.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe Firebase

Is it possibile to use it on a private way?

I really love the idea of having my own url shortner but I'm a bit worried because the service remain public, so somebody I don't know could create his own url shorteners with custom alias (using my domain).

Is there any way to use it only in a private way?

Add support for 301 redirect

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice if the app can do a 301 redirect to preserve the title description image meta info on a link. Currently all links show the mnml meta info.

Describe the solution you'd like
Links to be redirected via 301 instead

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
If it's a server needed, any advice? Maybe firebase cloud functions

Anyone can delete any link

So if someone generates a shorten link, they can trust that it will be there forever because someone (by accident or not) can delete it.

Probably the way to solve it is to let the user to login so only they could delete the URL.

Not working

jsonstore.io is down
Since jsonstore.io is not functioning normally from many days so this shortner is not any more functional.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to sortner website
paste the long link and click shorten
And it ever and ever struck there with status shortening

Please fix it as I use it for my work
I am an newbie and don't have much knowledge of javascript so please fix it soon using some alternatives like jsonbix.io or other such projects.
