  FlyURL - A simple, self-hosted URL shortener

• Pckd

  1 666 6.6 JavaScript

  Discontinued The ⚡️ analytics-intensive, self-hostable link-shortener with a beautiful UI | AKA free bit.ly alternative 🚀 (by PckdHQ)

  

- FlyURL requires NO logins (Influenced by chilp.it[6])

- FlyURL uses blacklist from Steven Black's hosts[4] and its in-house URL shortener service list[5] to block harmful websites and prevent creating a "chain" of URLs (Influenced by is.gd) (I'm not sure if Pckd or Shlink do the same, but it's likely they do)

- FlyURL is built with Python and Flask (Shlink is built with PHP, and Pckd is built with React)

If you want a URL shortener that just works, then FlyURL may fit for you. If you want more features and more robust, then Shlink and Pckd are better choices.
