Why does Kutt use so many google services?

[poeti8]

Hello everyone,
I'm the creator of Kutt and I just somehow stumbled across this forum post.
I wanted to let you know that everything related to Google was removed in the version 3 of the app, which was released a few days ago.
I also wanted to say that I'm happy to see you took interest in Kutt. I hope you like the new version too.

@poeti8 I switched to Yourls because of the Google references and the higher resource requirement to run Kutt. I know the idle usage is probably the same, but any reason why the recommended RAM is 1GB vs 256 MB for Yourls?

@humptydumpty @poeti8 Same here. Another big reason was the customizability. I need to be able to choose a favicon and control the design and content of the landing page.

Just in contact with @poeti8 because of customization. He released a developer built on GitHub and aksed me to test. As I am a total noob (that's why I am on cloudron maybe anyone of you can test. Here is the link https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt/tree/develop?tab=readme-ov-file#themes-and-customizations

Thanks @sponch, I added development build on Docker in case anyone wants to test. I'll publish this change soon, if you have any opinions let me know.

Sounds great @poeti8 Thanks for your fast action While we have you here: are there any other trackers or measurement tools (Google was removed, after all) that we should point out in the privacy policy?

[poeti8]

@sponch Nope
