How I Accidentally Made My Link Shortener into a Malware Honeypot
A couple years ago a client asked me for their own URL shortener service. I found YOURLS (https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS) and reluctantly installed it on a cheap, shared, hosting account.
Thankfully after a couple years, I convinced them (it took several tries) to use a 3rd party hosted provider.
Bullet dodged.

self-hosted url shorter with device targeting
YOURLS has a "detect-mobile-device" plugin. Is that what you were looking for?

Tool/solution to "masquerade" or encode/decode part of the url to avoid showing subpaths details (f.e: myDomain.tld/myFolder/MyFile should became myDomain.tld/casualStringGeneratedAndMappedByTheTool) ?
You will need to implement the YOURLS URL Shortener (https://yourls.org) and then implement the following YOURLS Plug-in - https://github.com/peterberbec/yourls-keyword_charset_length (Keywords, Charset & Length).

Raindrop.io: cross-platform, collaborative bookmark manager
Tangentially related: I'm in search of a lightweight self-hosted URL shortener. Tried shlink[0] but man it's a bit of a bear, requiring 5 (yes, five) separate Docker containers. Also tried kutt[1] but it appears to be abandoned.

I built my first SaaS on Next.js
After some research, I decided to give Kutt a try. It's open source and free, and there is a node SDK which can make it easy to use.
