What a copy needs to do

  • Short link from a long URL, with an optional custom code
  • Redirect each visit to the long URL
  • Click count per link per day
  • Referrer and device type for each click
  • QR code for each short link
  • Owner page behind a private key

How to build it yourself

  1. A Next.js route handler on Vercel answers each short code.3
  2. The redirect function sends the visitor on with a 307 status.4
  3. The after function logs the click once the response is sent.5
  4. Running the log after the response keeps it from blocking the redirect.5
  5. Vercel Blob stores the link list and the click log as JSON files.6
  6. The node-qrcode library renders a QR code for each short link as PNG or SVG.7

What a copy leaves out

  • Custom domains, since links live on a hundredbucks.dev subdomain
  • Landing pages and mobile deep links
  • Team seats, SSO and webhooks
  • Bitly's name, logo and screens
