This release adds the ability to edit existing links, show and download QR codes for easy sharing, and various improvements in the frontend. Check out the release note for a list of all changes.

This release brings three main changes.

1. The ability to filter links.
2. Support for an optional notes field.
3. Ability to edit expiry time and notes.

I try not to too many new features to avoid bloat, but it seemed like these were pretty useful for a link shortener, especially when managing thousands of short links. (To my surprise, some people even use it to manage millions of links.)

Please take a look at the release notes for a complete list of changes.

P.S. The next thing I'll be focusing on is improving throughput under sustained load. If anyone has experience with SQLite, feel free to drop any tips. All the db related code is here. I'm mostly interested in improving insert speeds when 1000s of inserts are done per second.

Edit: There's a Codeberg mirror as well.

There has been some QoL improvements added recently. Notable ones are:

1. Support for OIDC login
2. Batched inserts
3. Temporary link disabling
4. 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.
