Thanks a lot, I confirm it works! ;)
Don't worry this let me understand better how github pages works.

Do you think this could have some basic analytics in the future (like those that tinyurl has?). It would be amazing to know how much people click on the link ;)

Besides, is it possible to shorten urls with the shell using this app?
I don't know how to do it but I'm thinking in something like creating an npm package that one can then install globally on the system, so then do a command like:

mnm <url> --custom-alias chosen-alias 

That would be really amazing!

A CLI is planned for future. Watch project on GitHub for updates.
