Why bit?
It is feature-complete by design. Its strength lies in simplicity, a reliable URL shortener without unnecessary bloat. Bug fixes will continue, but new features aren't planned.
- Minimal tracking setup: Country, browser, os, referer. No cookies or persistent tracking mechanisms are used beyond what's available from a basic client's request.
- Flexible request forwarding system passes client context (IP, user-agent) to destinations via standard
X-Forwarded-ForandUser-Agentheaders, enabling advanced tracking and integration capabilities when needed. - Multiple users are supported via API key authentication. Create, list and delete via the CLI.
Minimum Requirements
- 50MB disk space
- 50MB RAM (20MB avg usage)
- x86_64 or ARM64 architecture
