Here's the link:

I usually use Shlink which is great but I found it a little too heavy especially for my vps'es that often only have 256mb of ram. All I want is the ability to redirect links and see how many clicks they get over time so here it is.

With the shortened links, you can add ?source=anyTextHere at the end of it to have the source show up as anyTextHere in the stats section.

If you want, you can bypass the frontend and use the backend routes yourself as an API too. API.md has info on it
