Hey folks,

I wanted a no-BS URL shortener that’s lightweight, easy to self-host, and doesn’t require some massive database setup. So, I built krtk.ee.

It’s written in Go, uses SQLite (so no need for an external DB), and has built-in CAPTCHA to stop bots from abusing it. The web UI is minimal, just paste a link, get a short one, done.

It’s running live at if you wanna try it. Please let me know what you think!
