  Easy to use url shortner which does not need any fancy database or server side system
The project uses jsonstore.io as a backend. I think the author would agree that that's a "fancy database" by their own definition. Also jsonstore.io is not open source.

https://github.com/bluzi/jsonstore - but it relies on firebase, a non-open-source, even fancier database

I agree that jsonstore.io is a fancy database , but goal of my project was to build a url shortner which can be hosted even in GitHub/Gitlab without any need to buy a costly PHP or NodeJs or Other hosting.
