Grav
Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony
I don't even track the clicks, at this point the shortener is just an Apache2 container with a long config file and some shell scripts for me adding new links: https://blog.kronis.dev/blog/sometimes-dropbox-is-just-ftp-b...
Previously it was YOURLS but now it's the simpler setup, the whole reason for me adding it was that Grav (which is otherwise a lovely flat-file CMS) was really bad at handling query strings in Markdown: https://getgrav.org/
Not sure if it's been patched since, will probably look into it at some point. Might either migrate from the shortener to direct links at some point, or add an intermediate page: "You are about to go to: " with some buttons.

Project mention: Running Rust Binaries on Shared Hosting: A Practical Approach to Type Safety on a Budget | dev.to | 2025-10-17
I was tired of PHP's type system. Even with PHPStan and Psalm, there's no substitute for real compile-time guarantees. But I'm also practical - I don't want to pay for a VPS, maintain a server, manage security updates, configure databases, set up backups, and babysit infrastructure when shared hosting costs < $10/month and handles all of that for me.

FreeScout
FreeScout — Free self-hosted help desk & shared mailbox (Zendesk / Help Scout alternative)
FreeScout is a lightweight, open-source helpdesk built with PHP and Laravel. It positions itself as a self-hosted Help Scout alternative, and the comparison is apt -- the UI is clean, email-centric, and focused on shared inbox workflows. The core application is free under AGPL-3.0, but many features that Zendesk and Help Scout include by default (knowledge base, satisfaction surveys, time tracking, LDAP) are sold as paid modules ranging from $2 to $20 each.
