# 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](http://hastebin.com).
|
|
|
|
## 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.
