URL Shortener
Secure URL shortening service with user authentication using Node.js and React
Project Overview
A full-stack URL shortening application developed with Nodejs backend and React frontend. The system allows users to securely register, log in, and create/manage their own shortened URLs. It features robust JWT-based authentication, password hashing for security, and authenticated routes to ensure privacy and user-specific data handling. The backend is designed with modular Nest.js architecture following best practices, while the frontend offers a clean interface for managing URLs, registration, and login.
