Small things that
link shortening needs.
Three utilities that run entirely in your browser, plus two that query the shortn database. Nothing here needs an account and nothing is logged.

Rules
- 3 to 32 characters
- Lowercase letters, digits, _ and -
- Must start with a letter or digit
- Uppercase is folded to lowercase, so Go and go are one link
- Some words are reserved for site pages and can never be claimed
- A live link stays live for seven days, then it is deleted and the name frees up
Decode a QR photo
experimentalUses the browser's built-in BarcodeDetector where it exists (Chrome and Edge on Android and desktop). There is no fallback decoder, so on browsers without it this box does nothing. Images are read locally and never uploaded.
