A dead-simple, practically featureless backend for URL shortening. No databases, no user-tracking, no nonsense. Just a flat YAML text file with slugs and URLs.
Sharty uses a YAML file to key short slugs to a full URL. Slugs can be any lowercase letter a thru
z, any number 0 thru 9, plus the hyphen. So to point a slug gh at https://github.com/:
# urls.yaml
gh: https://github.com/The result is that http://example.com/gh redirects to https://github.com/. Completely boring and
yawn-worthy, but simple and effective.
