  • You can manage a Lind after creation to edit the passwords or the underlying link by going to {lind}/manage
  • Both a web-ui and api available
  • A rate limiter available for creating Linds
  • Easy to change how Lind behaves: you can change the minimum length or character range of the id's

The home screen where you can quickly make a simple Lind: image Or use the advanced settings to add an expiration time, an usage limiter, password protect it or allow managing the Lind afterwards: image Click create and you'll get the Lind: image When accessing a password-protected Lind, you'll first need to enter the password set when created in order to continue: image If an admin password is given when creating a Lind, you can go to {lind}/manage to manage the Lind image image

lind's Issues

Inefficient use of database

Every time a function is run, a database connection and cursor is created and at the end a commit. This is very inefficient because when you get hundreds of requests per second, you get a "database is busy" as result. Also is writing to the disk that often not good. It is required currently do to the commit at the end because the changes are saved in memory but every function has a different session so they don't have access to the same memory.

There needs to be one database connection and one cursor that everyone uses all the time. Hourly, make a commit. If that doesn't work, keep one database connection but then one cursor per thread. Check if that solves the database busy problem.
