🚀 Built a URL Shortener from scratch using Python & Flask! Over the past few days, I designed and developed a full-stack URL Shortener web app — from database automation to real-time redirects — and yes, I built the UI too 👀✨ 🔧 Tech Stack Backend: Python, Flask Database: MySQL (automated DB & table creation) Frontend: HTML, CSS Other: Regex-based URL validation, random short-code generation ✨ Key Features Shortens long URLs into unique, compact links Real-time redirection using Flask’s redirect() Database-backed storage (no in-memory hacks) Proper input validation & error handling Clean UI built by me This project helped me deeply understand: Backend request–response flow Database-driven design RESTful routing How small architectural decisions matter a lot 🔗 GitHub Repository 👉 https://lnkd.in/dF7MEzfv Still learning, still building — but every project like this makes things click a little more 💡 Would love feedback, suggestions, or just a 👋 from fellow developers! #Python #Flask #WebDevelopment #BackendDevelopment #Projects #LearningByBuilding #EngineeringStudent #WomenInTech
Simple idea, well executed
Great Kinda feels painful the fact that developers nowadays have to mention that the UI was built by me I found myself literally trying note, TRYING, to convince my teacher that I built the UI like I dont deserve that after working for days making the UI ALL THE BEST!
If it's running local host how it's possible
