For an event at https://hellopaint.io we needed something that forwards to a random url from a list of urls (We created multiple drawing rooms and wanted people to evenly distribute across them during a twitch stream).

It could also be used to forward to a random Website or a random YouTube video, but I'm thinking if I should limit it so all links have to redirect to the same domain, to limit the potential of abuse.

Since I couldn't find any such service, I made one myself. (later I found this: https://randurl.com/ but it doesn't provide any statistics)

It's made using Rust, Yew, daisyUI and Postgres https://github.com/lucasmerlin/hurlurl
