Breve

a url shortener

Breve is a web application that provides a simple interface to shortening long urls creating links smaller and easier to remember.

It creates links in the form of "/emeaoinqua": easier to remember than alphanumeric strings like "/1Cqw8lHw" used by several services.

It was inspired by hastebin.

Installing the app

Install the app with cabal-install. Run

$ cabal install breve

and start it with

$ breve

The app will start serving on http://localhost:3000, listening on every active interface. You can change the port and set a hostname via the PORT and HOSTNAME environment variables.
