I'm looking for my next #job as a software engineer. I have 16 years of experience in web development with technologies like React, Node.js, Typescript and PHP, but I've also used Python and Kotlin. I've worked in remote and distributed teams for many years and I have good communication skills.

And while considering if the project should leave GitHub, Shlink has reached 5k stars there 😅

Shlink @shlink.io · 03/05/2026

I'm seriously considering leaving GitHub. The two main reasons I haven't yet: 1. Can be a ton of work: Git, issues and PRs have direct replacements, but things like actions or dependabot don't. 2. Community and discoverability: People have GitHub accounts and assume OSS is on GitHub.

Dear community, due to the rise of unsolicited and "by surprise" pull requests, all AI generated, Shlink won't be accepting external contributions anymore. Thank those who don't care. You can still open issues and discussions.

Shlink @shlink.io · 18/01/2026

Dear community, I beg you to avoid reporting AI-generated issues or pull requests, with an extremely verbose wall-of-text description. Respect your OSS maintainers and be mindful of their time. Make the effort to manually write well thought and concise descriptions.

Periodic reminder that this is a hobby project maintained by one person in his free time. It's impossible to avoid a few rough edges. Opening issues just to rant and insult, because you were not able to make it work, is a very selfish, despicable and demotivating thing to do. Don't be that person.

If you are using Shlink 4.4.0, it is recommended to update to 4.4.1 or newer, as it has a bug which can cause new database connections to be opened on every visit, and never closed. If you were going to update, go straight to the most recent 4.4.x version

Next Shlink version will include big API performance improvements, when loading short URL lists ordered by amount of visits, and when loading tag stats. This was possible by using the slotted counter pattern, and tracking the amount of visits per short URL, instead of calculating them at runtime.
