You'll build a personal web assistant that turns long, noisy URLs into short, readable links you can share or say out loud. The service runs on a domain you control, gives you a compact link on demand, and cleanly redirects people to the exact destination without accounts, ads, or tracking.
Powered by axum and tokio, it exposes a tiny HTTP API for creating new short links and following them via /:code. Errors are explained in plain language, and existing links remain stable thanks to an in-memory map and a dedicated code type, with anyhow used for clear, consistent error handling.
