Show HN: unsafehttp – tiny web server from scratch in C, running on an orange pi (unsafehttp.benren.au)

Unlike most URL shorteners, Trails: - does not store IPs - visits are counted using a SHA-256 hash, so they can’t be linked back to users - Lets you “peek” at a short link before clicking, so you know where it goes - Has no accounts, paywalls, or tracking — just a free API

You can find examples on the GitHub page, and also it has a public website that uses this service: https://trls.link/

API repo: https://github.com/anwitars/tiny-trails Web client repo: https://github.com/anwitars/trails-web

I would love feedback on design decisions, and the roadmap included in the API's readme, especially the dynamic Trails idea.
