Shrtr URL Shortener

A basic, open source URL shortener built using Solid.js and Cloudflare Workers

But why?

Besides the opportunity to fiddle with new technologies, URLs are important. A shortlink sent by a legitimate company using a commercial service could be hijacked by the URL shortener to phish credentials. Enterprise companies often maintain their own URL shortening services as a measure of security.

The economics of Cloudflare Workers and K/V allow you to run your own for free, even at volume. Or you could use shrtr.cloud

Usage

  1. Install & configure Wrangler.
  2. Replace the values in the workers' wrangler.toml files with your Cloudflare zone ID, account ID, path, and K/V ID.
  3. Deploy workers.
  4. Deploy frontend to Cloudflare Pages or similar free static hosting.

API

The workers are also accessible via a public API documented here and via an OpenAPI spec.
