Nutshell: a pocket-size URL shortener in Python

Sep 07, 2024

Nutshell is a small, personal URL shortener that I wrote in Python using Quart in just two hours. Despite being developed in such a short period, it includes most features that a URL shortener normally has:

  • Concise, custom and randomized slugs

  • Password-protected (authorized) URLs

  • Basic URL metrics (number of visits, successful visits, last visit)

  • Ability to deactivate (pause) URLs

I recently posted on Medium about this small project discussing how these features are implemented in detail. Follow the links below to know more about Nutshell:
