TinyApp Project

TinyApp is a full stack web application that I built in order to familiarize myself with Node and Express. TinyApp allows users to shorten long URLs and share them around (à la bit.ly).

Features

• Shorten any long URL into a 6-char TinyURL to be shared with others
• View and manage all your URLs through your account's dashboard, from 'My URLs' page
• Easily Add/Edit/Delete any of your TinyURLs
• Hashed passwords and Encrypted Cookies to ensure safety of sensitive information
• Track the number of clicks/visits your TinyURL receives (NEW!)
• See stats of all visitors by viewing the time and date they viewed your TinyURL (NEW!)
• Track the number of UNIQUE visitors on your TinyURL (NEW!)
