hurlurl, a load balancing link shortener

Hurlurl can take a list of urls and create one url that randomly redirects to one of them.

This could be useful, if you have a large group of people, e.g. on a discord server or a twitch stream and you want to send them to different instances of a game or an online whiteboard for example. I made hurlurl when I needed to send people to different boards on https://hellopaint.io, for an event we did.

I guess you could call hurlurl a social load balancer because it's used to load balance people and not http requests. Although hurlurl could also be used for traditional load balancing.
