Personal short-link server using only Caddy webserver

Before jumped into this solution, I tried (deployed & tested) few others myself, mainly kellegous/go, kutt.it and adamyi/golinks. But, all of them "too featureful" for my needs.

I wrote the one for F5, in 2011 I believe. I didn't know specifically about Google's at the time, but the general concept was in the air. I was inspired by the old-schoool CompuServe (or was it AOL?) "go " command. Bill Booth worked to get f5go open-sourced a few years after that [1].
And I'm glad you appreciated f5go's additional features; my personal favorite is the "lists" feature: a single go/ link can become a list of links very easily. Very useful for gathering research on a topic into a single place. I keep wanting to setup a personal f5go server so I can share short mnemonic links that might be lists lke this.
