lil is a URL shortening service built with the promise of never saving any user-data. It uses random captcha's to validate users and a username of the user's choice to do user sessions.

An instance of it can be found over at one0.xyz.

The old branch has the vue+sequelize codebase.

$ cp .env.example .env
$ sqlite3 lil.db < sql/000-all-tables.sql
$ npm i
$ npm start

Open http://localhost:3030.

1. Using lil from your terminal

   Have curl installed on your machine. Then copy over extras/lil to somewhere in your $PATH.

   $ cp extras/lil ~/bin
   $ # usage
   $ lil "https://www.warp.dev/pricing"
   $ lil "https://www.warp.dev/pricing" warp
   

   To add your ~/bin in your $PATH, put this in your ~/.profile file

   [ -d $HOME/bin ] && export PATH="${HOME}/bin:${PATH}"

2. There is a sample nginx config in the extras folder.

3. Migrating from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0

   Get the old database and then run

   node extras/mig.js lil.old.db
   

   This will insert all active urls and users from the old database into the current one.
