Show HN: Portabl.ink – create self-contained links

by Kalabasa on 9/25/23, 2:33 PM with 3 comments

Hello, I've seen these site-in-a-link makers around here and was inspired to make my own version in about a week! It was fun.

This tool uses data URLs so a connection to the host is unnecessary, unlike itty.bitty.site.

It also uses compression. The data URL bundles both the compressed data and the code needed to decompress and bootstrap that data.

Lastly, you can turn the whole editor itself into a data URL! - Under the more [⋯] menu, click "get portabl.ink" to get a portable link of portabl.ink (like a quine!)
