What is Polr?
An open source URL shortener. A great non-profit and free alternative to bit.ly, TinyURL, or goo.gl.
It has a modern look, themes, user admin panels, and you can even host it yourself. Similar to products like YOURLS, Polr can be hosted yourself. If you have a PHP server, you can have your own instance. It has many more features than YOURLS, and is constantly being developed.

"Due to abuse, the Polr demo does not redirect to external URLs."
NOTES:
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"

Highlight: "The Polr Project's open source platform, Polr, will not be affected."
This announcement in 2017 was about Polr.me, an online service that the Polr devs were ending. They maintained the self-hosted version until early 2021.
However, a fork is in active development at Github account Antelope-Valley-College by Github dev mwilmes-at-avc.
