What is liblin?
libl.in is a free, libre URL shortener built specifically for hackers — no ads, no tracking, no corporate strings attached. Instead of wrestling with long, clunky URLs, you fork the liblin repo, drop in your own index.txt, and instantly get a clean, memorable link like libl.in/yourname that redirects straight to your project. It's $0 forever for the core service, with optional paid subdomains or custom domains if you want extra branding.
Built by a fellow FOSS advocate for the FOSS community, libl.in proves that useful infrastructure doesn't have to come wrapped in surveillance capitalism — just fork it, link it, and ship it.
