It does away with all the frills of other link shorteners and allows the best of the basics at a small resource price. liteshort uses under 20 MB of memory idle, per worker. liteshort has an easy-to-use API and web interface. liteshort doesn't store any more information than necessary: just the long and short URLs. It does not log the date of creation, the remote IP, or any other information. liteshort uses Python 3, [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/), SQLite3, and [uwsgi](https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for the backend.
