Url shortener

This is a simple URL shortener made for learning the basics of Flask and Vue.

It uses PostgreSQL as the database and Flask-SQLAlchemy. It has a very simple database model: a single table with a primary key, a URL, a short token and an optional expiration date.

I was especially interested in learning how to test the server.

The front-end was made with vue and is not very involved.

I used to host it on Heroku but decided to not do it anymore since these applications can be exploited.
