Because simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Hey! I am Ishan, the creator of NoobShort. NoobShort was initially a huge flask app with postgres. But, now, it is a simple React Component that uses MongoDB. This is mostly just to be used by me and my friends. But, if you want to use it, you can. However, don't post anything illegal. I regularly delete all the data from the database. So, don't expect your links to be there forever.
Same shortener, but from the comfort of your terminal. Check it out at newtoallofthis123/short_cli.
