Looks like a visually pleasant site to browse, however it appears that there is some lag on Firefox (on the desktop), at least for me.

As far as link shorteners go, I actually host my own containerized instance of YOURLS: https://yourls.org/

It's fairly boring and not really pretty, but it seems to work okay for me.

Actually, as far as self-hosting goes, there's quite a few options out there: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#url...

Of course, one can also find some free services hosted by others.

Thanks for the headsup re: the lag – there's some performance issues with the Globe animation that I'm trying to fix right now, sorry about that!

Just remove it.

Your site is good without the globe.

    Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Just merged a PR that should mitigate this: https://github.com/steven-tey/dub/pull/13

Can y'all check again and let me know if the performance issue is still bad? Feel free to reply here or send me an email at steven[at]dub.sh

It's better now.

I can scroll to bottom without crashing, but it is still high cpu usage and fans start spinning.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm gonna keep digging into optimization strategies! :)

I also had noticeable lag using Chrome (on desktop)

firefox and brave both choked on it for me (while a bunch of el scripts are building in the background). that page killed my GUI responsiveness lol which was unencumbered before I went there (aka windows was doing fine with compiling in the background and letting me browse the web)
