Why does Kutt use so many google services?

I've generally solved that problem by using the LocalCDN browser extension which blocks such requests from any sites.

yourls

I prefer that anyway because you can customise the homepage of the domain

Kutt has a nicer UI, but I don't see the need for a nice UI for such a simple tool. I just need to be able to create shortlink and track how many clicks they get and YOURLS does that perfectly fine imho.

@timconsidine I'm currently looking more into shlink which ticks a lot of boxes. It looks like this could potentially run in a lamp stack if no one ports it for cloudron it seems

Edit: Seems to run well in a lamp stack. Now my only Problem is that there is no public facing UI and user accounts

@JOduMonT Define home for a self-hosted system serving up the JS. Also, which API, self-hosted or otherwise?

we might be lost in the translation/transmission
when I said ping home; I meant phone home to make a connection so if you don't localize your JS, the provider notice you (ping)

otherwise it was just to raise awareness on JS such as Stallman did years ago and now https://openjsf.org do.
