I’m happy that you like it. Any kind of analytics or logging is decidedly against my stated policy for this project, so I won’t be adding it. But I understand that some might need it, and in that case, one should look at more comprehensive solutions like YOURLS.

It’s just a way to advertise, I think. I’ve found myself putting more trust in projects written in Rust or Go, than say, JavaScript.

Hmm, so that might be out of scope here. But I can try to do some kind of 2FA, shouldn’t be much of an issue, really. It’s just that I never thought a link shortener needed 2FA protection since the links will be publicly shared anyway.

Unnecessary to me, I guess.

Thank you for the kind words.

Won’t lie, the main reason that I stuck to a vanilla frontend approach is because I didn’t know what else to do. I’ve never been a frontend dev, and never wish to be one. So I looked at an older project, and started by trying to replicate it. In hindsight, it was probably a good decision. The backend is more intentional though, and I do try to keep things simple and clean.

I’m already aware of a few small UI oddities. There were quite a few changes in the frontend, so I kind of expect these. Please let me know if you see anything weird. You can comment here, or open a bug report. I expect to do a patch release by tomorrow.
