What it is and why
A link shortener with click statistics: custom aliases, expiry, redirects, and a breakdown by day, browser, OS and device.
The dashboard is protected by an admin token. Visitors are counted by a hash with a daily salt; IP addresses are not stored.
Limitations
One admin token, no users. The demo statistics are generated and do not reflect real traffic.
What is inside
- 302 redirect and click tracking in SQLite
- Rate limit on link creation per address
- Statistics by day, browser, OS and device
- SEED_DEMO=1 mode with fictional statistics for demos
