This is a URL shortener written in Flask that uses SQLite as a backend. I did not put much (really any) time into the front end other than to get it to work... So it's not the prettiest

To run on Ubuntu:

Install Dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
sudo apt-get install python-flask
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install Flask --upgrade
sudo pip install Flask-Script

Clone repo and navigate to directory

To start server:

python twiceurl.py

To populate cached id values (this is not necessary to successfully us the service. the idea is that this script would be executed by a cronjob to maintain a list of quickly accessible urls):

python manage.py populate

To use the site locally:
