I have been trying to get my hands dirty. URL shortner was a good option to pick. So bootstraped kut.li using my design, and development skills.
https://www.kut.li is a web app which helps to shorten a link and analyse it. Built it in couple of weekends.
Long way to go though.
How I built it?
  • Designed using Sketch
  • HTML and Sass (Ofcourse)
  • Pure javascript (Front-end)
  • node.js (Backend)
  • Hosted in heroku (Good stuff)

Built Kut.li with API in mind so that anyone can consume it and integrate with their project.

UX/UI and Design thinking is a major ingredient in making kut.li. Also got some good feedback from my developers community online.
