A URL shortener transforms lengthy URLs into compact, shareable links, making it easier to distribute content on social media and within text formats, while often providing analytics.
In this project setup, we utilize the Echo framework in Go, demonstrating how to create URL handlers that manage URL submissions and redirection effectively.
The redirect handler is crucial for the functioning of the URL shortener, as it facilitates navigation to the original links that users want to access.
Creating a URL shortener in Go is a manageable weekend project for newbies, showcasing practical applications of programming fundamentals and web server management.
