I always was frustrated by link shorteners and predatory approaches. So I built https://slsh.me

Fun to build again, host on bare metal and all. Learned a lot!

Looks really cool, its nice to have an alternative to the big players.

The only criticism is that, in the UK at least, "slash" can mean urinate, and that's all I can think of when I read through the website. Probably a me issue though!

Aahah very clear oversight on my end :D

I really like the design, are you a designer? Or did you hire someone?

I spent days iterating with Claude Code cli tool.

Spent a lot of time initially with asking it to generate me radically different approaches. Then I cherry pick what I like, iterate over and over again.

It's still something I ask of it regularly.

Thank you for the kind words. I've always struggled with UI as I have a backend engineer background, now more on the CTO sides of things. I've always lacked the creativity IMO, and this gave me a very good opportunity to practice and try to build something ""unique"".
