How It Works

1. Paste a long URL and complete the Turnstile captcha.
2. Server generates a short code, stores the mapping in MongoDB.
3. Visiting /{code} permanently redirects to the original URL.
4. Your created links are saved to localStorage and displayed in a table.

Rate limiting is enforced per IP (daily cap).
