    A few weeks back, I learned that there is an internationalized version of URL called IRI that supports the entire Unicode set.\n\nSo, for fun, I made an emoji-based URL shortener based on URL-safe encoding of a UUID using emoji, which takes it from 32 => \~10 chars! As a bonus, the ID generation can be done client side, so this is a zero-backend lift! \n\nBehold! An Example!\n\nhttps://emol.ink/πŸ˜»πŸ‘©πŸΏ\u200d🀝\u200dπŸ‘¨πŸΎπŸ‘ƒπŸΎπŸ›΄πŸ‘©πŸΎ\u200d🎨🏍️🀷🏻\u200dβ™€πŸ§‘πŸ»\u200dπŸŽ¨πŸ§ΉπŸššβœ‹πŸ½\n\nFun Surprises\n\n* Emoji links (aka IRIs) work almost everywhere (but not Twitter πŸ’€)\n* Client-side unique ID generation is awesome. It's backendless and offline-capable while still being collision-free\n* Infinite address space = less stress about bad actors.\n\nLinks and Stuff\n\n🌟 Try it out: https://emol.ink/ \nπŸ“š How it works: https://ericbaer.com/blog/emo-link \nπŸ”§ The Code: https://github.com/baer/emo-link\n\n \nThis is my first time posting a project to Reddit, so please upvote or share if you liked it I guess.\n\nFeature requests, comments, and PRs welcome!

    Sooooooo, since I posted to Reddit, I used Cloudflare's Turnstile to do bot mitigation and to protect e from having to pay tens of dollars for a KV store (I'm on the free tier). So, yes, technically, there is a function that acts as the backend.
