A simple URL shortener written using Ruby on Rails
Linc was created as a way for me to show people how rapid and simple Rails development can be - I had the basic working functionality of this app online within 40 minutes from starting.
It supports creation of short links, redirecting to the proper URL on visit, as well as a simple counter to display the number of times a link has been viewed.
Installation should be easy to complete;
- grab the repository contents
- run bundle install
- run rake db:migrate
- run rails server
There is a demo site, hosted on Heroku, available at this demo site
