 <h1 id="why-we-built-this">Why we built this</h1>
 <p>We built it for a pretty boring reason. On <a rel="external" href="https://www.live-ask.com">Live-Ask.com</a> we used <a rel="external" href="https://tinyurl.com">TinyURL</a> to shorten event links, and after they tightened their free tier we were about to outgrow it.</p>
 <p>Paying for another SaaS plan would have solved that. But we already run a small K3s cluster with spare capacity, so at that point the question became: how much software do we actually need to redirect a URL?</p>
