While it's a nice project the title and idea of the article is totally clickbaity. You're just hosting the front-end of the app in GitHub Pages, you can do that with any idea that you have and not just with an URL shortener.

Actually , I didn't intended to make the title like clickbait..

The main intention of the whole article was last two points ,

What FossURL isn't πŸ˜‘

What's New In That So-called 'v2.0'

At first I was thinking of title FossURL 2.0 Released but it was little awkward , so I shifted to the kind-of-tagline.

I apologise for any inconvenience.

Looks nice but is kinda false ads, it uses an 3rd party hosting.
