This is my first "real" project made in Flask, I'm currently hosting it on a ubuntu server running apache. At this moment it's pretty barebones but I plan on adding a tracking analytics dashboard for links that have been created but thats a bit down the road once I fix a couple of bugs in the API. Probably will make it opensource in the future once the code isn't spaghetti code.
Front-end technologies used:

Change log from feedback and data from this Reddit post:
1. Fixed a bug where it would allow URL's to be inputed without a TLD attached credit to u/flaskcheckint!
2. Blocking Minity links from being shortend for security and redirect loops. And removing pre-existing links that was redirecting to [https://minity.link](https://minity.link)
If you want to check it out the link is over here: [https://minity.link](https://minity.link) ! I am open to feedback and suggestions 🙂
~~EDIT 1: For anyone who goes there now and try's to shorten a url you will get a 500 error sorry! I'm making changes to the backend, check back later!~~
Damn you guys are smart. I hope to someday learn to do things like this. Thank you for your work and thank you for sharing.
It made my link longer, I guess I should have started with a longer link. You ever worry that if enough people use the service your obliged to keep it online to stop all those links going dead?
Congrats brother!

I had made one too. So mad because I mistakenly deleted the entire OS partition and have no backup. And now i am lazy to do it all again
Hey I saw in the morning today that you your website had served \~900 links. However when I checked later it displayed that you have served \~250 links. Did you delete some of the links? Because I had used your service for a coupe of links, I just wanted to know what was the issue?
DUDE why did you use so many frameworks tho?
So just out of curiosity how did you manage to make sure that now one misuses your api through fake proxies ?
Oh no, it’s gone. I’ve been using this and recommending it to friends. What happened my friend?
