A minimal, fast URL shortener built for developers. Create short, memorable links in seconds - with custom slugs, click analytics, and QR code generation, all from a clean dashboard. Part of the Auva ecosystem at auva.dev.
Used Claude for planning, architecture decisions, and generating implementation plans. All code was reviewed and integrated manually.
Auva Go is a minimal URL shortener built as the first tool in the Auva ecosystem - a suite of clean developer tools I’m building at auva.dev.
You paste a long URL, get a short one instantly. Custom slugs, click analytics, QR code generation, and a dashboard to manage all your links. Built with Next.js, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
The challenging part was building the auth system from scratch to be shared across all future Auva tools, so that every app in the ecosystem uses a single account. That became Auva Auth, which now powers Auva Go, Auva Paste, and Auva Notes.
Most proud of the fact that this is a real, working tool I actually use daily - not a demo, not a tutorial clone. Just something I needed, so I built it.
Refactored the DELETE endpoint to perform a hard delete instead of a soft delete, ensuring that records are fully removed from the database and simplifying data management.
