Today i finished the first project based on my upcoming content management system Skozzon. It is a URL shortening service which you can use for example with services like Identi.ca or Twitter to save space when linking to long URLs.

The service is available in english and german:

krzl.de - Der URL-Verkürzer (German)

krzl.de - The URL shortening service (English)

It is a first free and public proof of concept page developed as plugin for the upcoming PHP based CMS Skozzon, which will provide the following features:

  • Multisite
    Install once, run as many sites on it as your server can handle
  • Multilingual
    Publish your content in as many languages as you want
  • Easy
    Easy to install, easy to use, easy to develop extensions, easy to run many sites on one installation
  • Fast
    The whole system was developed with performance in mind. The use of the open source twig template system with cache make your pages render in only a few miliseconds.
  • Secure
    Automatic escaping of rendered data and form tags prevent XSS and CSRF attacks, while constant use of parameterized statements on database queries prevent SQL injection

The CMS is expected to be released in Q3/2012.
