Spent the last few days messing around with Django to build a simple URL shortener. Wanted to get more comfortable with the ORM and custom auth, so I focused mostly on the backend logic rather than the UI. Implemented Base62 encoding for the short keys, a basic user system so people can actually manage their own links, and some simple click tracking to see if the redirects are actually working. It was a good exercise in mapping database relationships and handling redirects properly. #Python #Django #WebDev #Backend #CodingPractice
