Project mention: How I Accidentally Made My Link Shortener into a Malware Honeypot | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01

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.

Project mention: Raindrop.io: cross-platform, collaborative bookmark manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27

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.
