A simple Django-based URL shortener that converts long and cumbersome URLs into short links.
This was my first Django project, created to learn the basics of Django models, views, and routing.
🌐 Live Demo: link.pythonanywhere.com
- Shortens any valid URL into an 8-character alphanumeric link.
- Minimal and clean interface.
- Uses Django’s built-in capabilities for routing and database management.
- Backend: Django (Python)
- Database: SQLite (default)
