Code Canyon – Link Shortener

Code Canyon – Link Shortener

My Link Shortener is a fully featured base application to have your own link shortening tool.
It uses an incremental approach to shortening the URL , so creates an extremely short URL ,
so much so that by the time you get up to 4 characters, you will have shrunk just short of 1 billion URL ’s.
The app not only shows the links that you have shortened, but can show a list of what is ‘hot’ right now, based
on what links are being clicked on by the community at the present time, so users can keep up with the trends.
The application features:
User accounts
Hot links list
Storing links against the user
Tracking links as they are clicked form any location
Grabs the linked pages title to show on the listing
AJAX powered link shortening, loading more links, deleting links
Overall users link count
Overall users click count
Guest usage
Template engine
Admin suite
Custom key
Link Stats
Link bar displayed when viewing shortened URL
Uses CodeIgniter 1.7.0 as the base for easy development going forward.
There is more development in planning to extend the application much further including:
API
Search for links
Click to copy
