Numeronym Generator

You have seen i18n, k8s, a11y and l10n around the docs and want to coin your own, or you have a list of long terms to shorten into label names, folder names or spreadsheet columns. The rule is easy to state and tedious to apply by hand across thirty words: keep the first letter, count the ones in the middle, keep the last. Paste the list here and read off the result.

Put one word per line and the output comes back in the same order, line for line. internationalization has 20 letters with 18 in the middle, so it becomes i18n; kubernetes becomes k8s and accessibility becomes a11y. Words shorter than four letters are left alone, which means you can paste a whole sentence without turning it into number soup. The scan also catches digit runs, so 123456 comes out as 146, which is rarely what you wanted.

The weak spot is accented text. The word matcher only understands unaccented letters, digits and underscores, so the Portuguese internacionalização is cut at the cedilla and comes out as i14ação instead of one clean numeronym. Strip accents before pasting. Remember too that the abbreviation is one way: k8s means kubernetes only by convention, so avoid coining numeronyms for terms your reader does not already know. The Copy button grabs the whole output, and nothing leaves your browser.
