😍 URL shortning made simple: mnmlurl uses jsonstore.io to store data on an endpoint JSON file using HTTPS requests. It works on any url.

❤️ No server side logging: Your privacy is important for us. We never log, collect or prompt to sell your data to anyone.

🔥 Custom and random alias support: Add your own custom alias or generate a random one.

🔢 Generate QR code: Create and download shortened URL's QR code.

⚗️ Manage URLs: Delete already created alias to update/create new URLs.

⚡ Performance: mnmlurl is a thin web app on top of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Being a Progressive web app, mnmlurl offers lightning fast loading and offline support via workbox and service worker.

Minimal URL can be hosted on any website hosting services like GitHub/GitLab pages, Firebase/Heroku hosting, yoursite.com, etc. For hosting in such custom domains, Its advised to npm run-scripts build and upload output folder. Hosting on GitHub pages was just for proof of concept.

IMPORTANT: Minimal URL is an experimental project. Don't shorten sensitive contents/URLs with it. jsonstore.io endpoints are always public making shortened URLs visible for everyone.
