go-shorten: URL Shortener Service
This service stores and serves URL redirects.
Can I use it in "production"?
I dunno? I am currently, but do your own tests :D
Why?
By itself, URL shortening is stupid useful. Want to visit a thing? Type "go/thing" into your browser and hit enter.
Things like this make everyone's life better.
Credits
I forked this project from https://github.com/didip/shawty because I liked how they laid out their project but I wanted to add a bunch more features and productionize it a bit more than was within scope for the original project.
