Overview
This project was designed to be a URL shortener, similar to bit.ly. It also has a qr code generator, and a robust logging feature. This is also totally free, and made to help the people who don't want to pay for these tools. Although this was already made as my first web app (probably one the worst coded web apps I've ever made), it took about 4 days to whip up from scratch. (I needed to completely rework it. It is completely different than the old one, and it uses vastly different tech) The project is built with Next JS, and MongoDB. The project is hosted on Vercel, and the database is hosted on MongoDB Atlas.
