This is neat! I appear to have already broken it!
I tried doing random babbling, then copied some lorem ipsum text (really nice how the url length is shorter than the original, so i guess some sort of compression is happening), then i wondered how it would handle non-plaintext so i pasted in the content here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alcor/itty-bitty/master/index.html and i got a blank page! :D
It does seem to work when i paste in some lua code I've been derping with. Code comes out with only some differences to newline whitespace.

So can someone ELI%? Someone on r/webdev said something along the lines of this being a free CDN. Is that true?

Makes sense, thank you.
