URLín

=====

A little URL squisher, backed by Redis, a very small Go server, and with a

teensy clean HTML5 front-end. Run it on your secure short domain, and spam

the internets with pretty little URLs.

Here's a screenshot:

Build it with `go build` and install it with `go install`. Get help with

`urleen -h`.

The front-end ships with 2k .woff containing the three icons, a service worker

(so it'll load fast on modern mobile browsers) and a manifest.json so it'll

work like an offline app, even though there's little point in a URL squisher

working offline.

If you don't like the front-end, use a different one, and either let urleen

serve it (with the `-w` flag) or put it behind a server; urleen will respond

to `GET /` with a redirect, and `POST /` by remembering the (JSON)

contents of the request body, provided it's a valid URL. The tiny IDs are

sequential base 62 numbers.

It was built to replace an old Rails 3 app, and to polish my Go chops and to

experiment with some HTML5 features that seem to be gaining browser support.
