shashort

SHAShort is the first and only URL shortening service to only use cryptographically secure hashing functions in the process of shortening, thereby making it computationally infeasible to reverse-engineer the original URL from the shortened link. That isn't something you should care about, but I did it anyway.

Installation

Run shards build --release, create a database shashort.sqlite3 with the table CREATE TABLE urlmap (url string unique on conflict replace, hash string); adjust the port in .env if you want and run bin/shashort.

Usage

Just navigate to http://localhost:8001 (by default) to use.
