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

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.

Configure

You can change the options by editing the config file. When you start the app an empty one will be created in: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/breve or ~/.config/breve if unset.

The default values are:

hostname localhost
port     3000
urltable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/breve

urltable is the location of breve url hashtable
