Poop.is – A Crappy Link Shortener

I'm sorry to report that it gives a new shortening each time you submit the new address, and now I'm not sure if my kid caused you to have 30 extra records for the same address. All the same, thank you for this, it's awesome and made my morning. :)

The author's website is refreshing in the current age of blogspam SEO optimization. Worth a glance and they sound friendly! Even though there is the suspiciously consistent scatalogical theme..

Hey all - author here. This amazing feat of engineering uses a hardcoded list of adjectives, and apparently pegs at 100% when the full list is consumed. Here's the sauce: https://git.j3s.sh/poop.is/tree/master/main.go

I've restarted it and I'm working on making it more resilient, lol. I didn't expect so many hits.

Truly the crappiest link shortener.

Heh, but it needs explicit http:// or https:// in front :)

it just redirects back to the main page?

The generated poop.is link should redirect back to whatever link you entered. I just deployed some changes and you may have been caught in the middle of them - feel free to try again if you'd like.

I'm having issues. When I click on any link in these comments or copy and paste any that I creat, it just sends me to the main poop.is page.

This can be used to store data. Someone should build a filesystem that runs on top of it.
