This is a URL shorter written in Python with Flask als Webhandler. The Webserver I used is Waitress and for the Database I used sqlite, because it's compact and works in this enviorement also with big databases (>2million entries) very quick. I started develloping this URL schorter, because google stopped their own and I can't find a very good one. Every shorter at the time on the market was boring or needed an account. For the first Version I used PHP, but the problem was, I packed everything in one very big file which was very hard to understand. At the time I wanted to use more than one domain I realized it is very hard to implement this, so I started searching for a better solution. The i found Flask, ehich is perfect, because you can split the Website code and the backend into multiple Files. So have fun to use this and contribute to it.
