Lynx

About

A fullstack application using the MEVN stack to shorten your URLs.

I’ve tried a variety of URL shorteners but didn’t find any with the functionality I wanted so I made my own.

My functionality I wanted:

• Admin Interface
• Option to redirect the root path
• Simple UI

A mirror of this repository is available at git.jackbailey.uk

Installation

Installation has moved to the docs.

Development/Contribution

I’m actively using and trying to add features/fix bugs with Lynx, I’m just busy.

You’re welcome to make a PR adding any features/fixing any issues and I’ll merge them.

Naming

Each item including a slug, destination and id is called a Link, the plural being links.

Each link has a slug, this is the path in the source url. example.com/2dch89772’s slug would be 2dch89772.

Each item including a username and password is called an Account, the plural being accounts.
