TinyApp Project

TinyApp is a full stack web application built with Node and Express that allows users to shorten long URLs (à la bit.ly)!

Tired of stifling your witty commentary to leave enough room for a meme link?
Feeling limited by character limitations in input text fields?
Wish there was a better way?

There's TinyApp. 🎉

Say goodbye to incredibly long and boring website address links.
Say hello to shareable shortlinks that leave plenty of room for your sass! 🤩
