• Add an option in settings for 'Create QR Code'
• Show QR Code in a popup after lighting up a link
• Show option for QR Code in Lit Links Database

I can't seem to find it in the repo. Its mentioned in the readme.

Any possibility to see the number of clicks on a shortened url on the one hosted on your site?

Can you add it pls even if it's by adding /r in front if the shorten url would be good

Block result: https://quad9.net/result?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaglit.me%2F

Because of this im unable to reach the site without using a proxy or a vpn service.

cryptos like monero,btc,etherium,usdt and etc.

and i would like to say thank you for this link shortener.

This means that the application has to be built with the NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL already set, instead of allowing it to be filled later.
Such practice, prevents users from using the already built application (being it inside/outside of docker).

How to reproduce:

1 - Make sure you're working on a clean environment (identical to repo)

git clean -fdxd

2 - Build the application

npm install
npm run build

3 - Create your .env.local file with the your configs (firebase and public url)

cat >> .env.local << EOF

NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1.xip.io:3000/"

RECOIL_DUPLICATE_ATOM_KEY_CHECKING_ENABLED=false
SECRET_KEY=""
STORAGE_BUCKET="blablabla.appspot.com"
PROJECT_ID="blablabla"
AUTH_DOMAIN="balblabla.firebaseapp.com"
MEASUREMENT_ID="G-BLABLABLA"
APP_ID="9:999999999999:web:9a9a9a9a9a9a9a9a9a9a"
MESSAGING_SENDER_ID="999999999999"
API_KEY="asdadasdasdsadasd_asdasdasdasd-123asd123"
EOF

4 - Start the application

npm run start

Expected

1 - Navigate to http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:3000/
2 - Open preferred Developer tools and go to the network tab
3 - Fill in any URL on the webpage and click on the button Light It Up 🔥
4 - A POST request is shown on the network tab aimed at http://127.0.0.1.xip.io:3000/

Actual

1 - Navigate to http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:3000/
2 - Open preferred Developer tools and go to the network tab
3 - Fill in any URL on the webpage and click on the button Light It Up 🔥
4 - A POST request is shown on the network tab aimed at http://localhost:3000/

Temporary workaround

While this issue doesn't get fixed, might be worth it to change documentation to:

Application

Instruct users to build application with the .env.local already created and filled as first step.

Docker

Stop distributing ready-to-use docker image and change docker-compose to force user to build its own docker-image

I know this i not a real issue, but for how long the link works?

I am putting QR codes with shortened links on the calendars of my association of volunteers, I hope they stay online for at least one year 😉

(Thank you by the way, I have donated 👍 )

Add an option for "curling" the website

In example: curl maglit.me "link" password=12345

I would love to see this option

Self-built docker image and setup with current instructions. When creating a slug, the following error spams the log.

Currently lighting up a link doesn't tell you if it's password protected or not. People might forget their password so it's better to keep the password available in local storage.

when trying to do post on tweetr with a maglink, ...can't anymore.

Users can run the following script in browser console to create short links with custom slugs

fetch("https://maglit.ml/api/create", {
    "headers": {
        "accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*",
        "accept-language": "en-IN,en-GB;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7,af;q=0.6,mr;q=0.5",

        "sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0",
        "sec-ch-ua-platform": "\"Windows\"",
        "sec-fetch-dest": "empty",
        "sec-fetch-mode": "cors",

What the title says...

Hi there!

I wanted to see if you had any plans for a tutorial of setting this up.

I want to try self-hosting this so much! I got as far as running the maglit container via Portainer, and even set up a web app in a new Firebase project. I input all the variables that I got from Firebase, but it would just keep saying "Failed to fetch". The url would always be "localhost:3000/". I tried making the .env.local file, but I didn't know where or how to upload it to firebase project.

I guess it must be easy for more experienced techies, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.

And of course, I know you're already making a docker image, I just wanted to see how that's coming along. :)

Thank you! I can't wait to be able to try this on my own system :)

Hello, i have filled in alle details of firebase correctly but when i want to create a short link I will get spamed with a 502 when i go to: the "api/available" site it says:

{"message":"Database Error, Please try again..."}

What can i do to fix this?
What is the SECRET_KEY?

Hi,

Is there a plan to support self hosted use-case by using something like sqlite DB instead of firebase?

Using a domain name with a Top Level Domain of more than 8 chars (I had issues with ".education", but a lot more are allowed) results in an error. The message is misleading "Please make sure your link starts with 'http://' or 'https://' or 'magnet://'".
I think the issue stems from the regexp used to test the links.

QR Code appears blank for some reason, works fine on dev.

I saw the dockerfile but no image or docker compose. Will there be one available soon?

Thank you!

While the website is available in dark mode, the FAQ page still displays with black text, making them very hard to read.

Currently,

The PWA can be added to Android devices by selecting "Add to Home screen," but it lacks an "Install" button.

On desktop browsers, the PWA feature is absent. The URL bar doesn't show an installation badge (icon), and there's no "install" item in the browser's drop-down menu.
