Cutle is a simple tool which makes URLs as short as possible, as "brief is the new black" in the age of social media.
Cutle converts long URLs into easily sharable QR codes and short, customizable links.
This tool was built as a capstone project by Zichdan, a Backend Engineering student at AltSchool Africa who's learning to create magic with Python.
