Nice shorties! Quickly copy/paste your fave URLs without going to bookmarks or the browser.
Based on Your First Progressive Web App codelab.
Shorties is a Pregressive Web App (PWA) proudly developed on Glitch and hosted on Netlify.
This PWA will save you time. Use Shorties instead of:
- Bringing up a browser, typing in a URL, and waiting for the page to load just to copy the link.
- Bringing up a browser, opening up the bookmarks manager, searching for a bookmark and hoping it's in there, then finally copying the link of the bookmark.
- Full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) support.
- Export/import shorties in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. This means you can backup, restore, share, or sync your shortcut links with one file.
- Case insensitive incremental search for real-time filtering.
- Lightweight PWA (Progressive Web App).
- Streamlined interface. E.g. auto saves once input field focus changes.
- Freely available—no store purchase required.
- Open source.
- Bring up Shorties in Google Chrome on your desktop or laptop. When you see the
+icon in your address bar, click it to install on your desktop. Try running ini bali with and without internet. - Bring up Shorties in Safari on your iPhone. Press the share icon. Swipe up and press on Add to Home Screen. Run the app with and without internet on your iPhone.

These are the known issues at the time of writing.
Editing a search result creates a new entry instead of updating the existing.Fixed in 1.0.1.- Dupe names and URLs are currently allowed. The search will only return the first hit on the name field only. Try to keep the names unique.
