Dub
Open-source link management platform with analytics, branded links, and QR codes.
Overview
Dub is an open-source link management platform. Create short links, track clicks with detailed analytics, use custom branded domains, and generate QR codes. Built by Steven Tey, it's become popular in the developer community as a modern Bitly alternative.
