Upgrading the PHP version on my sites broke my URL shortener. Rather than reverting, I finally did what it has been bugging me about for years and upgraded the system. Now I am back to being able to take a url string in #emacs and, with one keystroke, convert it into a #ShortUrl off one of my domains, which I can then check stats to see how much my link was visited. Of course, as soon as I finished the upgrade it was telling me, "There's a newer version available."
@marcolas For URL shortening I've used #yourls https://yourls.org/ for years. They are open source and, being PHP, work fine on my shared #BlueHost hosting.
@worldsendless thanks, I'll check it out.
@worldsendless May I ask which software, if you can recommend it?
