Self Hosting

While I don't plan on providing support for self-hosting, I can tell you some basic things to get you started. This project is programmed in Node (obviously), with Express.js to serve content and qjson-db to store slugs.

Just clone this GitHub repo, and download all the prerequisites. You can find them in package.json.

You can spin up a free host on Replit ⠕ or 🎏 Glitch.

The .env file

The .env file has a few simple keys in them. You can rename these to suite your infrastructure better. Stripe information can be found at dashboard.stripe.com

wave - Gradient information for wave gradient on home page, not required

stripeApi - Stripe.com API key for payments

stripePriceId - Stripe Price ID for Custom URL slug payments

I'm not going to include that in this project, but you can simply grab the code by viewing the source at https://0tr.me.

Reporting bugs

It would be great if you could not only report bugs you find (by opening an issue), but create a pull request that helps solve it too. If you contribute, you'll be listed on the homepage forever.
