Project Biref:

This project is about a URL shortener with a twist. Yes, there are lots of those already. What is going to make ours special?

Well, this is not about creating URLs with billions of accesses. Instead, it's about writing URLs that are targeted to a small amount of users (say, your friends or family) but that don't give away what they are about based on the URL itself.

These are the features we want to add:

  • URLs might require to sign-in with email. We don't want to have a complex auth system though, so if a URL requires sign-in, just send a confirmation link to that email so they can open it from there.
  • URLs might have an expiration date (and a start date).
  • URLs, when opened, might send a confirmation email to the creator (something like "wife opened your URL xxxx").

@Mr-Sunglasses I think it is complete enough to be deployed. In its current state it is just a basic link shortener. We'll continue to add features after it is deployed. Also can you check and try using the Dockerfile. For some reason, docker is not working well in my laptop.
