EDIT 0: Minimal URL can be hosted on any website hosting services like GitHub/GitLab pages, Firebase/Heroku hosting, etc. Hosting on GitHub pages was just for proof of concept.
If you followed this post and used GitHub pages for hosting, the site will be hosted on your_github_username.github.io/mnmlurl/src I forgot the /src, sorry.
Alternatively you can npm build the project and host the contents from output folder on any other hosting services like Firebase/Heroku etc.
EDIT 1: If you want to take development further, consider contributing on GitHub.
EDIT 2: Minimal URL is an experimental project. Don't shorten sensitive contents/URLs with it.
Thanks a lot, I confirm it works! ;)
Don't worry this let me understand better how github pages works.
Do you think this could have some basic analytics in the future (like those that tinyurl has?). It would be amazing to know how much people click on the link ;)
Besides, is it possible to shorten urls with the shell using this app?
I don't know how to do it but I'm thinking in something like creating an npm package that one can then install globally on the system, so then do a command like:
Sorry for the noobness but do I need to build it first right? Because following your tutorial gets me the readme page online (with github pages)
You're right. I forgot the build step. Let me update my post with little more clarity. Sorry for the confusion, my bad.
Thanks for the patience.

That would be really amazing!
A CLI is planned for future. Watch project on GitHub for updates.
