Technologies and Frameworks Used

  • Front-end: Bootstrap
  • Back-end: Django, Python, PostgreSQL
  • Deployment: Heroku

Future Plans

Ideally, I would like to acquire a domain such as 'bilk.co' so links can be as succinct possible. The current herokuapp extension adds a significant amount of characters to shortened links.
