PLS Snip
FastAPI / SQLiteA no-sign-up URL shortener. Paste a long link, get a short one back, and check click stats later using a private management link — no account, no password.
Product
The Problem
Most URL shorteners require an account just to see basic click stats on a link you created thirty seconds ago.
Overview
Creating a short link also returns a one-time management link built from a second, unrelated random token — the same trust model as an unlisted share link. Opening it later shows click count, creation/expiry dates, and last-clicked time, and lets you delete the link. Custom aliases are validated against a reserved-word list so a custom code can never collide with a real route, and links can be set to expire after 1, 7, 30, or 90 days, or never. Runs on a single SQLite file in WAL mode — no separate database server to install.
Features
- Custom aliases (3-30 chars) or auto-generated short codes
- Optional expiry: never, 1, 7, 30, or 90 days
- Private, token-based management link — click count, created/expiry/last-clicked dates, delete
- No account, no login — the management link itself is the access control
- Reserved-word protection so custom aliases can't collide with real routes
