Django Shortnr

The Django Shortnr app came about because I had a free night while my finance was making a Halloween costume. I realize there are many apps like this available but it was more to see how quickly I could do it.

Here's a list of features

1. Shortens any url
2. Keeps tracks of the shortened url usage
3. Ability to store URLs and view them afterwards
4. URLs are reused if user is authenticated and has already shortened the url, or if the user isn't authenticated

Again, this has been done, and probably been done better elsewhere. I was just bored...

Installation

1. Add the following to your INSTALLED_APPS

   'shortnr'

2. Create the variable SHORTEN_LINK_URL

   SHORTEN_LINK_URL = 'http://localhost:8000/view/'
