I built krtk.ee – a simple, self-hostable URL shortene
- falkensmaze66 2y agoHey folks, I wanted a no-BS URL shortener that’s lightweight, easy to self-host, and doesn’t require some massive database setup. So, I built krtk.ee. It’s written in Go, uses SQLite (so no need for an external DB), and has built-in CAPTCHA to stop bots from abusing it. The web UI is minimal, just paste a link, get a short one, done. It’s running live at https://krtk.ee/ https://krtk.ee/ if you wanna try it. Please let me know what you think!

- mattl 2y agoMake the URL field a URL type field for better usability. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Extensions/Forms/HTML5_input_types#url_field https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_developme... I’d also consider using something like simplecss for the layout as it’s simple, CDN hosted and will work nicely across different devices.
