Shadow Development - Redirect Page

A modern, dark-themed redirect page built with Express.js featuring countdown timers and auto-redirect functionality.

Features

• Modern dark theme with blue accents
• Configurable countdown timer
• Auto-redirect option with localStorage
• Stop/cancel redirect functionality
• Easy configuration via JSON file
• Fully responsive design

Installation

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Start the server:

npm start

For development with auto-reload:

npm run dev

The server will run on http://localhost:3000 by default.

Configuration

Edit config.json to customize your redirect page:

{
	"redirectUrl": "https://shadowdevs.com",
	"logoUrl": "/logo.png",
	"countdownSeconds": 5,
	"autoKey": "dev"
}

Configuration Options:

• redirectUrl: The destination URL for the redirect
• logoUrl: Path to your logo image (place in public/ folder)
• countdownSeconds: Number of seconds before redirect (default: 5)
• autoKey: Local Storage Key for Auto Redirect (Change if using same domain, but want to reset people's auto redirect)

Adding Your Logo

Place your logo image in the public/ folder and update the logoUrl in config.json:

{
	"logoUrl": "/your-logo.png"
}

How It Works

1. First Visit: User sees countdown timer (5 seconds by default)
2. Stop Redirect: Cancels the countdown and changes button to "Redirect Now"
3. Enable Auto-Redirect: Saves preference to localStorage and immediately redirects. On future visits, user is instantly redirected without countdown.
