Just a little side project to see if I could build a URL shortener like bitly.

Tech stack includes MongoDB, Express, React (SSR), deployed via Heroku.

Live demo

To try it out on your own system:

git clone https://github.com/joeldarling/urlShortener.git

To just run the app as is:

npm install
npm start

and go to http://localhost:3000.

To run the dev server:

npm run start:dev
