you can replace with this:

    function shorten(text, length) {
      return new Promise((a, r) =>
      fetch(`http://leftpad.io/shorten?l=${length}&v=${encodeURIComponent(text)}`).then(rx=>rx.text().then(a, r), r));
    }

  $ host leftpad.io
  Host leftpad.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

haha, too bad those .io domains are so expensive, would make a hilarious joke

I'm seeing $29/y or so from multiple providers. Doesn't strike me as particularly expensive.
