Manage short links
as code
v8s.link is the public vanityURLs reference instance: a Cloudflare Worker, static assets, and a Git-managed registry for your own short-link domain
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A Git-native, edge-delivered URL platform with full control and zero lock-in
Link as Code
Define short URLs in v8s-links.txt, versioned and reviewed in Git
CLI First
Create exact links, splat links, schedules, and lifecycle states from local files
Git History
Track changes, review via pull requests, and roll back instantly
Edge Delivery
Serve redirects globally using Cloudflare Workers for low latency
Custom Domains
Use your own domain for branded, trusted, and permanent short links
Auto Deploy
Push changes to GitHub and let Cloudflare Workers deploy the generated site
Repo Control
Use public or private repositories to manage visibility and access
Structured URLs
Organize links with paths, prefixes, and scalable naming conventions
Infra as Code
Manage links like infrastructure, integrated into CI/CD workflows
No Lock-In
Own your data, domain, and hosting — no dependency on SaaS platforms
Protected Operations
Keep _stats and test surfaces behind Cloudflare Access while public redirects stay fast
Low Cost
Operate on free-tier infrastructure with minimal ongoing cost
How it works
From zero to live short links in four steps
Buy a domain
Register any domain you like, such as v8s.link, or bring one you already own
Define links in v8s-links.txt
Add pipe-delimited link rows with slug, target, state, metadata, owner, expiry, and notes
Deploy as a Cloudflare Worker
Wrangler builds defaults plus custom overrides, publishes static assets, and routes through the Worker
Commit changes to deploy globally
Every git push triggers an automatic deploy. Your changes are live worldwide in ~15 seconds — no manual steps, no dashboards, no waiting
