What it does

Shawty is a tiny URL shortener written in Go that allows you to shorten long URLs into shorter, more manageable links.

When to use it
  • •When you need to share a long URL in a character-limited space, such as a tweet or text message
  • •When you want to track clicks on a specific link without using a full-featured analytics tool
  • •When you need a simple, lightweight URL shortener for a small project or prototype
Ready-to-paste prompt
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"url": "https://www.example.com/very/long/url"}' http://localhost:8080/api/shorten
Heads up: Make sure you have Go installed on your system and the `$GOPATH` environment variable is set, as Shawty uses the Go module system to install and run
