About Link Shortener

What is Link Shortener?

Link Shortener is a fun and interactive URL shortening service that adds a playful twist to sharing links. When someone clicks your shortened URL for the first time, they'll be treated to a classic rickroll before being redirected to the actual destination on their second click.

Built with Flask and deployed on AWS, this project demonstrates modern web development practices including:

  • Secure URL shortening with custom short codes
  • QR code generation for easy sharing
  • Detailed click statistics and analytics
  • Automated daily statistics exports
  • Beautiful, responsive UI
  • SSL/TLS encryption
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
