### *TinyApp is a full stack web application built with Node and Express that allows users to shorten long URLs (à la bit.ly)!*

Wish there was a better way?  

**There's TinyApp.** 🎉

Say goodbye to incredibly long and boring website address links.  

Say *hello* to shareable shortlinks that leave plenty of room for your **_sass_**! 🤩
