What is it?

Slash is an open source, self-hosted platform for managing the links you use most often. Instead of digging through emails and chat history for a URL, you create short, readable shortcuts such as s/shortcut that point to the full address. Links can be tagged to categorize them and shared with teammates or publicly.

The project ships as a Docker image that you run on your own server, storing data in a local directory. A browser extension for Chromium-based browsers and Firefox lets you type a shortcut in the address or search bar to jump straight to its target URL. Collections let you publish a set of shortcuts to anyone, regardless of browser.

Slash also records traffic and source analytics for each link, so you can see how shortcuts are being used.
