Note:

• Kutt.it API permits 50 URLs shortening per day using the API Key.
• Enable Custom Host option to use with self-hosted kutt
  • Save the self hosted domain in the input (eg: https://mykutt.it)
    • Note: the api endpoint is automatically appended during the api call.
• Delay at times while shortening might be the issue with Kutt.it API and not with the extension's.
