# URL Shortener

A personal URL shortener built with Netlify, inspired by Kent C. Dobbs.

## Motivation

URL shorteners currently on the market for custom domains are insanely expensive. Months ago, I came across Kent C. Dobbs' [netlify-shortener](https://github.com/kentcdodds/netlify-shortener) which is an insanely simple and useful implementation of a personal URL shortener with the ability to support a custom domain. Following his lead, I was able to get a custom URL shortener deployed in minutes and a bash script to create/generate new shortened URLS in only a few more minutes. Thank you Kent C. Dobbs!
