Short but not for long
This is a small link shortener written in golang. It's not meant for permanently shortening link. So in case you don't want dead links after a reboot, this is not for you.
On top of forgetting everything on reboot, it can't hold many links, the
upper limit is math.MaxUint16.
Usage example
func main() {
shortener := NewShortener(1234)
fmt.Println(shortener.Shorten("https://google.com"))
blocker := make(chan struct{})
go func() {
log.Fatalln(shortener.Start())
blocker <- struct{}{}
}()
<-blocker
}
Run it, open your browser and visit the link that the main-function spits out.
