Linkee is a minimal and authless URL shortner with simple analytics to track link usage and see where the clicks came from.

Shipped this project!

I made an simple link shortner, because I was frustated with bitly. It works by generating a random code for a long url. Upon visiting the URL you get redirected to the destination page. I learned how to handle redirects and generate short codes for long urls and how to work with the newer implementation of Appwrite DB.

I finished the App! I implemented the backend and worked on proper redirecting. Also analytics now shows where the app came from, which browser was used and which OS. also how many times the link was visited!

it looks good

now I have got a good looking and minimal UI. It’s dark mode forever (light mode users go delete yourself). Now I will focus on other pages like the analytics page, then I will work on the backend!

Built an basic landing page after struggling with NextJS. Looks ugly rn, but I promise it will get better
