Technical Details

This uses a GitHub automated workflow to add the URL to a .js file, along with its short counterpart. It uses a javascript file to avoid having to use a json database and host it somewhere, making this completely available on GitHub Pages, with no cost to the user.


The URL has to run through the workflow, then once it is loaded into urls.js, github pages then has to complete its job of uploading the new urls.js to the website. Only then will the URL work.
