Love or loathe them, sharing buttons will not go away for a while. The default social media sharing scripts provided by the networks themselves are big, often download multiple files and track users across the web.

This generator outputs social media sharing buttons that do not use JavaScript, which means they load incredibly fast (they only use a single HTTP request), don't block your website from rendering, are accessible and don't track the user. (Also, they look nice and follow the brand guidelines where applicable!)

Pygmy: Open-source, extensible & easy-to-use URL shortener

Pygmy is a feature-rich, easy-to-use, extensible and easy to deploy and host url shortener. It's created keeping in mind that it should be easy to deploy and extend.

Major Features:

• Custom URL
• Auto expiry URL
• Secret key protected URL
• User Login/Sign up
• User dashboard
• Link Analytics (add + to the tiny URL to get link stats)

This is one of the most powerful, feature-rich open-source URL shortener available. The architecture is very loosely coupled which allows custom integrations very easily.

The project has 3 major parts:

• The core program for URL shortening
• REST API on top. Uses Flask framework.
• The UI layer for rendering the UI. It uses Django framework.

Each part is independent of other part and it can function independently. The project is created keeping in mind that each of the parts can be used separately without any dependency on other part.

It does so with user-centric rights and privacy, and without selling, sharing or giving away the data you collect. It's a simple and easy to use for website owners at any technical level.
