Yet another URL shortener. Built using Flask (application factory structure) and VueJS client. SQLite is used as database storage. Uses Python 3.6.
The shorten url is a "word". From the file "/fixtures/wordlist.txt" a model WordList is populated. Based on the url path (example: https://hostname/path), the path letter are processed to a list with unique letters like : ['p', 'a', 't', 'h']. For each letter the first available word exists in WordList when the word is used, for example if not any word is available with 'p' the next search is with 'a'. If all word are taken when a 8 bit hash is generated.
Note: For installation pipenv is used. An enviromental varialble handles mode for example export SHORTLY_MODE='prod' creates a instance based on 'settings/production.py'.
The default mode is 'dev'
