Clone Bitly

Clone Bitly (URL Shortener)

In this project, we aimed at cloning the popular URL shortening service, "bitly.com". I have tried my best to clone the website as well as I could. This website is fully responsive with the help of Bootstrap 4. Python powers the backend of the website.

This website was a team project, which we created for the Web development hackathon organized by "JetBrains". There were two members in the team including me and I was the team leader. I developed the whole backend of the website, and for that, I used the Flask framework of Python.

I implemented the logic to shorten the given URL and then expand them back when requested. I also created a separate dashboard for every user which the users can use to view the performance of the links shortened by them. For a particular link, I saved the location and click count whenever that link is opened anywhere in the world.

We won the First prize in this hackathon for the theme "Learn By Clone".

Coding-Platform

Naitan-Coding-Platform

Website: https://naitan-coding-platform.herokuapp.com

Hello readers, today I am going to tell you about my latest project on which I was working on for the last 3 weeks and I am glad that my project is finally in a form which can be shared with you guys. I have created a website which is similar to coding websites out there like leetcode, codechef, hackerrank etc.

Initially I thought of creating a website that will allow users to write and compile code online in Python and Java, but when i started building the website, I thought of adding other features also which will help the community. Therefore, along with the online real-time compiler I also added a ton of hand-picked coding questions from various popular coding websites, so that you can improve your coding skills. Moreover, the website also has a contest section in which you can get information about the ongoing contest, future contests and previous contests, which are hosted on codechef and hackerearth.

At last, I fetched the user profiles from three top coding websites: leetcode, codechef and hackerearth and displayed that data at one place.

Therefore, in total, now you don’t need to visit several websites for search of good questions and contest info. You will get all that info at one spot.

Github: https://github.com/Pirate2606/compiler/

What I used:

Python3
Flask
HTML, CSS, Javascript/jquery
PostgreSQL

What I learnt:

Web scraping
Deployment on Heroku
PostgreSQL
Google authentication using OAuth
Running background processes using “Threads”
Use of cookies

This website helps the students who are doing B-Tech in the following courses:

Computer science engineering (CSE)

Electric Shop

E-commerce website

This is the first major website i created after learning python/flask. This website is a e-commerce website for selling electric items. I have given more importance to back end of the website rather than the front end.
