There has been some QoL improvements added recently. Notable ones are:
- Support for OIDC login
- Batched inserts
- Temporary link disabling
- Faster reply and redirection due to async handling of some less-important tasks
There have also been small changes to the backend and UI that improve the user experience overall.

URL shortering is a security risk imo. I want to see where I’m going before I click.

It’s about trusting the source/sharer.
My friends and family trust me, so trust links I send.

While I agree on principle, we’re not always using big-name websites. The argument falls short for some-local-blog.com, there’s no security improvement on clicking that link as opposed to shortener.tld/blog-link. I’d say we should trust the source instead of the link. Link shortening can be useful if you want long links to look nice when sharing, or simply for personal use so that you don’t need to remember long links to access an internal resource.

I mean, you could always create a server-side symlink?
