• See a list of their shortened links, even after refreshing the browser
• Copy the shortened link to their clipboard in a single click

My process

Built with

• React JS
• React libraries
  • styled-components
  • Framer Motion
  • React Reveal
• Shrtcode API

What I learned

It was definitely a fun challenge! I deepened my understanding of Framer Motion library and also got to grips with a URL shortening API. Also, I entertained myself with React Reveal library, which helps you create animations on scroll. It's not perfect but definitely worth checking out, in my opinion! 🙂
