Show HN: URL shortner without Servier side processing, simple HTML-JS-CSS

I was just going to say that. I'm guessing what was meant was maybe the redirection logic is all happening in the client, which is true. However, when you just read the title I assumed it meant everything, even the storage of the address itself, was being stored in the client. That didn't make sense to me, because you need to be able to share the links. Then I saw it was using jsonstore.io under the covers and the world made sense again.

No, because despite the deceptive title it does actually use server side processing. It relies on https://www.jsonstore.io/ for the actual data storage.

https://github.com/bluzi/jsonstore - but it relies on firebase, a non-open-source, even fancier database

I agree that jsonstore.io is a fancy database , but goal of my project was to build a url shortner which can be hosted even in GitHub/Gitlab without any need to buy a costly PHP or NodeJs or Other hosting.

goo.gl is shutting down, i think you've to find other alternative api.

By the way if you have any ideas you can check my repo and contribute, we can work together to make it better.

I think we are almost at same age

Is there any URL Shortner which can be hosted at GitHub/Gitlab Pages?
