This is a super simple script to host your own redirection page directly on Github Pages.
Think of it like your own version of bit.ly without the fancy add-ons.
Links are defined links.json, a dictionary mapping short version to long version. On landing, the page serves and index.html with a tiny JavaScript that does the redirection. Everything is logged on Google Analytics.
See some examples:
- https://apiad.net/to/#me -- My homepage
- https://apiad.net/to/#gh -- My Github
- https://apiad.net/to/#to -- This project
Because I want to keep track of the links I post online and I don't want bit.ly or the likes owning my links and stats.
With this script everything goes directly posted to Google Analytics.
Sure, fork and set up your links, Github pages, and stuff. Remember to set your own GA tracking code in index.html.
