/SHAShort

The world's first and only cryptographically secure link shortener

Primary LanguageJavaScriptMIT LicenseMIT

shashort

SHAShort is the first and only URL shortening service to only use cryptographically secure hashing functions in the process of shortening, thereby making it computationally infeasible to reverse-engineer the original URL from the shortened link. That isn't something you should care about, but I did it anyway.

Installation

Run shards build --release, create a database shashort.sqlite3 with the table CREATE TABLE urlmap (url string unique on conflict replace, hash string); adjust the port in .env if you want and run bin/shashort.

Usage

Just navigate to http://localhost:8001 (by default) to use.
