I kinda want to set up a simple URL shortener on my site but the options I'm finding online that claim to be simple are definitely not. I don't need analytics or tracking or multi-user web portals, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?
@andykorth you going to get a vanity URL? kortham.net is arguably kinda “long”
It’s possible to redirect with a snippet of HTML right? Could just do it statically with a little script + ssh?
@slembcke I need to host shortened urls on kortham.net. I think i can do it with some easy php redirects but didn’t want to write it myself.
@andykorth I guess I mean like this: https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-redirect-a-web-page-in-html.html
SSH to your host and run a script that makes a file (or dir/index.html) with that in it.
@andykorth Totes works:
http://files.slembcke.net/temp/redirect
Has an overhead of dozens of bytes though. (/me shrug)
