I've lost track of the number of times I've seen variants on "Hey, a link shortener is a fun first project for this new language I'm learning; hey, $LANGUAGE_COMMUNITY, I've put this up on the internet now!... hey, uh, $LANGUAGE_COMMUNITY, I've had to take it down due to abuse." There are numerous abuse vectors. Optionally promise to get it back up real soon now, as if there are actually people depending on it.

Maybe it isn't a bad first project, but on no account should you put it up on the "real" internet and tell anyone it exists.
