Polr

NOTES:

• The original project appears to be discontinued. The Github hasn't been updated since early 2021 (github account cydrobolt)
• A fork is being actively maintained and updated (github account Antelope-Valley-College). The dev wrote at the original Polr Github on 16 Dec. 2022, under issue #626: "Shameless plug [for Antelope-Valley-College/polr]: I've implemented SAML and PHP 8 support in our fork for the community college I work for. Because it's critical to daily business processes, I suspect we will keep maintaining it."
• Polr.me -- online service, discontinued; mentioned here by @croadsmouth; NOT THE SAME as the self-hosted versions

bad bad bad bad very bad

There is no tracking for the links Like Track the total of clicks or statistics.

Very sad to see one of the best open source URL shorteners taken down :(( Luckily Porl project remains unaffected and for example 1n.pm LinkShortener is based on that and the feel is very similar :)

"polr.me is in the process of shutting down its services, effective immediately

Regretfully, we here at the Polr Project have decided to shut down the public URL shortener hosted at polr.me, effective immediately.

In the past few months, we have encountered a large influx of abusive links and harmful bots; however, following numerous attempts to reduce the amount of spam links flowing thorugh polr.me, we have not been successful at stopping the flow of phishing and malware links.

In addition, our previous host, OpenShift, has discontinued their previous service, which polr.me was hosted on. As a result, we moved to a different host in order to continue offering the service; however, the high traffic that polr.me receives leads to a cost which is not inconsequential. After numerous failed attempts to monetize the service in order to keep server costs down, we've failed.

As a result of the high influx of malicious links, the high traffic that they've generated, and the shutdown of our previous host, we've decided to terminate the public polr.me service. The Polr Project's open source platform, Polr, will not be affected.

polr.me links will continue redirecting until January 9th, 2018. At that point, an archive of public links will be available for download for those who are interested.

Thank you for understanding"
