shrynk-flask-app's Issues

Mobile UI

Enhancements for Mobile UI.

Security Aspects

The program should not allow for multiple short URLs of the same encoding to exist in the database. This issue is taken care of the UNIQUE Constraint, but since using MD5 and B64. MD5 for a particular string is the same. Since using the first x characters conflicts may occur.

To fix this issue:

1. First, check if DB contains the generated URL.
2. If it contains, add a bias value. Generate a new URL.

Shortened URL Expiry

Feature Enhancement

Feature: The expiry for a shortened URL.

This could be a monetization feature like paid users to get plans where they generate numerous shortened URLs until a limit and keep them for a specific time.

Free Users with limited usage.
