Short URLs to fastbook in Colab

[kora (Korakot Chaovavanich)]

I’ve registered a domain name colab.fan to help shortening links to Google Colab.

Now, I add these links of fastbook chapters

• https://colab.fan/fastbook1 opens 01_intro.ipynb
• https://colab.fan/fastbook2 opens 02_production.ipynb
• https://colab.fan/fastbook3 opens 03_ethics.ipynb
• https://colab.fan/fastbook4 opens 04_mnist_basics.ipynb
• https://colab.fan/fastbook opens a UI for you to choose notebooks

Other usage:

• https://colab.fan opens an empty notebook that you can test your code (avoiding Untitled42.ipynb)
• https://colab.fan/FILE_ID (33 chars) open a colab from Google Drive
• From browser URL of github.com/path/to/notebook.ipynb you can replace github.com with colab.fan to open it in Colab
• Otherwise expects https://colab.fan/org/project_name/notebook.ipynb and will map to github automatically e.g. https://colab.fan/fastai/fastbook/01_intro.ipynb

Hope it helps us save a few keystrokes.

I have registered another domain name colab.to.

Now you can use both of them. e.g. https://colab.to/fastbook

But next year, I will let colab.fan expire, and use only colab.to
