Pygmy: Open-source, extensible & easy-to-use URL shortener

Pygmy is a feature-rich, easy-to-use, extensible and easy to deploy and host url shortener. It's created keeping in mind that it should be easy to deploy and extend.

Major Features:

• Custom URL
• Auto expiry URL
• Secret key protected URL
• User Login/Sign up
• User dashboard
• Link Analytics (add + to the tiny URL to get link stats)

This is one of the most powerful, feature-rich open-source URL shortener available. The architecture is very loosely coupled which allows custom integrations very easily.

The project has 3 major parts:

• The core program for URL shortening
• REST API on top. Uses Flask framework.
• The UI layer for rendering the UI. It uses Django framework.

Each part is independent of other part and it can function independently. The project is created keeping in mind that each of the parts can be used separately without any dependency on other part.
