Palindot

A URL shortener SPA built with Laravel and Vue 3 that creates palindromic short codes.

Implementation Details

• Slug Generation: The core logic (app/Models/Url.php) hashes the target URL using sha256, takes a substring, and mirrors it (e.g., abc → abc + cba → abccba) to enforce a palindrome.
• Backend: Laravel 10 acting as a REST API.
  • Auth: Laravel Sanctum.
  • Docs: zircote/swagger-php annotations in controllers.
• Frontend: Vue 3 + Tailwind CSS.
  • State: Standard Vue reactivity.
  • Routing: Vue Router.
• Testing: Pest PHP.
