Shlink Manager for Android

Hey y'all,

A while ago, I've built "Shlink Manager", an Android app to manage
your [Shlink](https://shlink.io/) instance and create new short URLs
directly on your phone (only managed to post about it now, because
life). Right now, you can:

* List all short URLs
* Create new short URLs (+ delete)
* View overall statistics (+ detailed statistics for each entry)
* View QR code
* ... and some other stuff

I've primarily built it for myself because I didn't like the default
web client on mobile (and I'm planning on adding a context menu entry
to shorten any URL when you highlight it, just didn't have the time to
do it yet).

If you're interested, you can download it on the [Play Store](https://
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.abmgrt.shlink_app) or check
out its [source code](https://github.com/rainloreley/shlink-manager)
(MIT license).

Little note on iOS: the app is built with Flutter, so technically it
works on iOS as well, but I'm not interested on working on it since I
stopped paying for my Developer Account a while ago and currently do
not own a Mac. If somebody wants to work on that, let me know! :)

How do I get the API key to connect, I've got my selfhosting server
address?

You can generate an API key using the Shlink command line:
