About
About Sink
Built with Nuxt, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn-vue components, Sink provides powerful URL management capabilities including custom slug generation, AI-powered slug suggestions, link expiration settings, and comprehensive click analytics to track link performance. Running 100% on Cloudflare Workers, Pages, and D1 database, the application delivers exceptional performance with global edge distribution, zero cold starts, and minimal latency regardless of user location. The platform includes features like QR code generation for shortened links, link categorization and organization, detailed analytics dashboards showing click counts, geographic data, and referrer information, and API access for programmatic link management.
Perfect for developers, marketers, and businesses needing a self-hosted link shortening solution without vendor lock-in, Sink can be deployed to Cloudflare in minutes with a generous free tier that handles thousands of requests. The serverless architecture ensures automatic scaling, cost efficiency, and reliability while maintaining complete data ownership and privacy, making it an ideal choice for teams wanting enterprise-grade link management without monthly subscription fees or usage limits imposed by commercial alternatives.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Sink.
Sink is an open-source, serverless link shortener built entirely on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure, offering a simple, speedy, and secure alternative to traditional URL shortening services like Bitly or TinyURL. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Sink is made by Ccbikai, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Ccbikai has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Sink with Nuxt and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Sink page embeds its live demo from Sink.Cool, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Sink listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/ccbikai/Sink), then follow the README. The Sink page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Sink repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Sink is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Follow the deployment notes in the Sink README: the right host depends on its framework and any services it needs. The page's categories show what it is built for.
The Sink listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/ccbikai/Sink), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Sink's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Sink's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Sink is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Ccbikai supports Sink, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Sink is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Sink uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Sink for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 181 other open source Tailwind templates like Sink, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/tailwind.
Ccbikai has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
