Overview
Shorten the page you are on to your own flatlink server – one click in the toolbar, no third-party service.
Shortens the page you are on – with one click in the toolbar. What sets this apart from the extensions of the well-known providers is not the feature, it is who reads along: this extension talks to exactly one address – your own flatlink server. There is no provider behind it learning which pages you shorten. WHAT IT DOES • Shorten the current tab's address; name and custom code optional • Add tags and an expiry date right away • Recognises a page you have shortened before and shows the existing short link instead of creating a second one • Copy the short link with one click • A QR code to scan – the quickest way from screen to phone; save it as a PNG if you like • Keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+K, freely reassignable in the browser • One click on to your server's QR designer – colours, shapes, logo and print files (PDF, EPS, CMYK) WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • No reading page contents, no injecting scripts into pages • No connection to any address other than your own server • No analytics, no identifiers, no background process PERMISSIONS • "Active tab": the address of the tab you click the icon in – only then, only that one • "Storage": address and API key, deliberately in this browser's local storage rather than in sync REQUIREMENTS Your own flatlink server (github.com/HerrBarmann/flatlink) and an API key from your profile there. The quickest way to set it up is a pairing code: generate it on your server, paste it here. Available in English and German; the extension follows your browser's language. The extension's source is five files of some 600 lines – readable in an afternoon: github.com/HerrBarmann/flatlink
