Show HN: An open-source alternative to Bitly
Cool. Checking it out.
For those looking for more options, Dub[1] is a matured open-source[2] link shortener with Analytics.
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).
Tip: If one wants to run an indie or personal or family/friends shortlink for easy sharing, try to have it on your own domain. This allowed me to moved between tools that powers it.

How to handle 301 and 302 redirects with GitHub Pages?
I was looking at https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from , but this accomplishes redirects by using the "http-refresh" meta, and I don't know if using that will damage my site's SEO (we are eventually going to be moving our site to an all-static site, but we have hundreds of redirects to import over)

I don't care about analytics at all, so I just wrote a simple build system doto generate some very basic HTML redirects.
It isn't perfect but it's very cheap to run!
