Products that do what Nodino – Simple URL shortener built with ExpressJS, React and Redis does

Hi there, I've just built this simple web app to play a bit with node/express on server and React/Stylus on frontend. http://nodino.herokuapp.com/ NOTE: demo has a safe-mode option that expires links after 30 minutes. This should reduce spammers impact. Source code is available at: https://github.com/apeacox/nodino Comments and feedbacks are welcome :-)

    Was bored at work so I threw this together. First bash at a Node app. Built a simple Chrome extension for it too.

    http://instacss.com (in case DNS update hasn't propagated: http://morning-warrior-3377.herokuapp.com/) Last night I was annoyed at how slow (and web 1.0-ish) most CSS reference sites seem to be, so I created this. It's basically a scrape of the CSS reference on w3schools, but with client side searching. Feedback is most welcome! some of the tech involved: node, requirejs, backbone, mongodb the code: http://github.com/rgarcia/instacss

    @deveshb15 and I built a URL shortener because the existing ones don't let you change the destination source once you create it. The main benefit is really just the fact that once you claim a link, you don't need to claim another and you can change the destination that link leads to as many times as you want - we need this a lot and don't want to pay a monthly fee for this. We used nextjs for frontend and backend, firebase for authentication and database, and used middleware in nextjs to the redirect url to desired location. Give it a go and let me know if you have any feedback. Thank you

    I am sorry to submit this again, but I feel it didn't get its share yesterday on HN. So I am giving it one last try. stk8.co allows you to stack several Links or Text and share them under one shortened url. It embeds a preview of the link for common services like youtube, vimeo, amazon, cnn, scribd, etc... It also has a bookmarklet to easily stack links. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    i'm building this minimalistic framework mostly for myself. it's really just a project template + a tiny library that adds file based routes to express and persistent task queues. i wanted something that: 1. is a single long-running process to deploy and manage (thanks sqlite!) 2. has type-safe database queries and type-safe server rendered React-like `.tsx` components 3. addresses 80% of common full-stack concerns like emails, task queues and routing 4. doesn't have a frontend build process curious to hear what you think!
