url-aliaser's Issues

Lack of file organisation in the project.

Most of the files in the project are directly placed in the project root. Placing the files in different directories on the basis of file types would make the project look more organised.

Placeholder not working correctly.

Aliases for URLs of the format someurl/somepart%%/ returns more than required placeholders error.
Aliases for URLs of the format someurl/%%/ work fine though.

URL redirection not working consistently

The URL redirection has become inconsistent, maybe after Chrome's recent updates. That is, it works at times, but fails sometimes. The URL gets fetched correctly, which can be verified by disconnecting from the internet and then trying out a stored alias. The corresponding URL replaces the alias in the address bar. But, when the internet connection is active, it doesn't redirect to the URL, nor does it show up on the address bar.

add notes to alias

The alias may be forgotten after a while, I hope to add optional remarks for each record, thank you
