SQL Migrations
BriefLi is my personal link infrastructure, running live at s.ihmorol.cv. It creates and organizes shortlinks with Gemini-suggested slugs, tracks clicks atomically through a Postgres RPC, separates public and personal link spaces behind Clerk authentication, and supports soft delete with trash and restore. Built with React 19 and TypeScript on Vite, a Vercel serverless API, and Supabase Postgres with two documented SQL migrations.
What it does, how it works, and what it ships.
I share study guides, project trackers, and resources constantly, and long URLs with random slugs are impossible to remember or manage. Existing shorteners don't organize links or suggest meaningful names.
Every link gets a unique, collision-checked code or an AI-suggested human-readable slug, and the Gemini key stays server-side. Redirects run through Vercel rewrites that serve /:slug from serverless functions; every redirect increments the click counter atomically via a Postgres RPC. Zod validates every payload, and the README documents the full API surface and authorization rules.
Small product, real daily utility.
