PortalRunner explains how they built a static link compressor that packs data directly into URLs and QR codes.

I made a static link and QR code compressor. Click this link boot.dev/?promo=PORTALRUNNER and use my code PORTALRUNNER to get 25% off your first payment for Boot.dev. Thank you for watching! Try it yourself: ha.mr The code is available on GitHub: github.com/p2r3/ha.mr Join our Discord server: p2r3.com/discord As mentioned in the video, my friend trained a transformer model that achieves far better compression. Here's the lightweight and actually practical version: s.ha.mr And here's the oversized max-compression version, just for fun: t.ha.mr - go check it out! Music arrangement by @dustyhob0. Tracks used, in order of appearance: - Going Alone - Mother 3 [2006] - Sandbox - TRANSISTOR [2014] - Summer (The Sun Can Bend An Orange Sky) - Stardew Valley [2020] - Machinist's Theme - SABLE [2021] - Hanging With The Boys - Omori [2020] - Untitled 2 - Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number [2015] - Evening In Scarlett Hills - Shenmue 2 [2002] - K-ENT. - NO MORE HEROES [2008] - Mystic Marsh (Olimar, Working) - Pikmin 2 [2004] - Childish Thoughts - Silent Hill Shattered Memories [2009] - Jouji Washington - CATHERINE [2011] Icons by FontAwesome: fontawesome.com/license/free
