rs-short
Lightweight link shortener written in Rust, with features such as caching, spambot protection and phishing detection.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is rs-short actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. rs-short is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at git.42l.fr — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What rs-short actually does
rs-short is a lightweight link shortener written in Rust. It provides basic URL redirection alongside built-in caching, spambot protection, and phishing detection.
Best fit: This is suitable if you prefer a compact, Rust-based utility for managing shortened URLs on your own infrastructure.
Worth knowing: The project currently has no tagged releases and no recorded repository stars or recent commits, indicating an early stage of development or lack of community activity.
Deployment notes
As a Rust application, it typically compiles into a single binary that requires a reverse proxy for TLS termination and persistent storage configured externally if data retention across reboots is needed.
