UrlShortStat

A web app for shortening urls and viewing usage stats.

Description

It is a web app for shortening Urls. Users can view visits from people who used the shortened url. The app displays the visits on the graph, which can display visits based on a 30 day period, month, or year basis. In addition, each graph features two data sets, one from the current time period and one from the previous time period, to measure growth in visits. Users can also select how far back to view statistics, such as two months ago or two years ago.

This app also has a user account system made with Passport.js. Users can register, login, or logout. There is a settings page for changing account information or deleting the account entirely. This account system uses session-based authentication and requires cookies to be enabled to work.
