#2I'm always amazed to see minimalist used to describe a dozen placeholder directories and files. That said, the code is clean and modern php.

Minimalist in regards to its design, perhaps not the code structure :)
In contrast to other projects such as YOURLS, Polr tries to be minimalist by avoiding heavy graphs or unnecessary bloat.

The structure is good. You can read what's happening clearly. It also shows what's a laravel idiom and what is modern php. I giggled a bit when reading the user factory code. It feels so enterprise. Not a bad thing in itself. I was just happy to see php code that is not a ball of mud held together by holy water. :)

#5Yes, 4192 files and 32MiB, quite minimal.

#7Wouldn't a minimalist implementation just look up shortened URLs in a map and spit out a redirect to the original URL? Seems like that could be done in a few KiB.

I hope to one day be able to code like the cat. :)

#9Why is the entire vendor directory in github? I'm fairly certain some of those packages cannot be redistributed like that.

4 files needed including a dB if you want to show a data table in Html. Maybe 60 lines of code to complete.
