OIDC was requested quite a few times. I finally understood the point when I started using it for my selfhosted apps lol. It can be very convenient.

Yeah, but I could also use a shortener. It’s more ergonomic, easier to use, edit etc. Different tools exist for a reason.

While I agree on principle, we’re not always using big-name websites. The argument falls short for some-local-blog.com, there’s no security improvement on clicking that link as opposed to shortener.tld/blog-link. I’d say we should trust the source of the link instead of the link itself. Link shortening can be useful if you want long links to look nice when sharing, or simply for personal use so that you don’t need to remember long links to access an internal resource. Or just for personal websites. I can link my CV at https://domain.tld/cv instead of the full PDF file path, for example.

Oh, we’re far beyond that point already.

Thanks. Hope you like it.

That could be, but I don’t think that it should be relied upon. The shortener itself can execute malicious code, so that kind of security is, in my opinion, essentially theatre. I’d just say that don’t click on links that you don’t trust.

This project is for own use/use with friends/family/internally in an org etc., where trust isn’t an issue. Of course, I cannot stop anyone from using it in any other way that they see fit. It can help shorten annoying long links for ease of sharing, but that’s it.
