linkie

A simple url shortener. Largely adapting VandyHacks/vhl.ink with the aim of providing a more ptpb-like experience (i.e the fewest keystrokes from a cli possible while still being reasonably secure for private use)

Deploying

wrangler deploy

Usage

curl -n -d u=http://example.com linkie/path will make http://linkie/path 302 redirect to the provided url. use .netrc to store the auth username/password (inspired by ix.io)

curl -n -d u=http://example.com linkie/_, if you provide an underscore as the path linkie will generate a four character path from a-zA-Z. if it has a collision five times in a row it'll return 500.. at that point i'd probably increase the length of the random ids in the function at the top of index.js to 5 or something, and also i should get off the internet because i've generated 52^4 short urls with this service and that's insane

See test.py for more usage and test cases
