I added a page to view the messages in a nicer way instead of pure json to make it more readable.
I added a URL Expander in order to make the URLs bigger at the same speed by using my custom library I wrote in elixir
I am hoping the previous payout will be updated since it was unfair, you can tell by the comments that the voters did not read the devlogs.

I made a complete URL Shortener from scratch and migrated from python to elixir. Very challenging at times since this is my first proper project using elixir.

This project WAS removed before, this devlog contains all the prior devlogs, all 15 of them. Because of the 2000 character limit in flavortown the devlogs are in this file in my github repo:
