Transcript (Auto translated can have spelling mistakes)

I found it challenging to create a recr link and since everyone enjoys recing someone for one reason or another I thought why not build something just for recing recing is quite fun and after desperate search for a good rrolling app I desire to create one for myself I hosted it on glitch under new general public licenses so others can benefit from it as well so let's look into the user s first as a user what I want to do I want to input a custom message or a link and generate a hyperlink that secretly redirect to a recoll video so that I can prank others by sending them a link that appears Innocent but actually leads to a recash lless videos the back end handle the form submission and create the hyperlink with the rec URL the front end displays the generated clickable link and include a copy link button that allows the user to copy the entire hyperlink with their custom message as the clickable test we used P for the front end and implemented the URL sh for generating Dynamic invers and looking links in the back end there are three functions two get functions and one post functions the two get functions if you look into that one is index which displays the home which means the landing bit the other is the page which shows the generated recr page to the end user the post function is responsible for generating the recoll page based on the users there are also three buug template one is for displaying the landing page one is for showing the generated result in real time and one is for displaying the final generated P to the end user which you have been shared with the other person in order to recol that he or she once everything is set up it's time for comit and push the changes then import them to the place the app is now live and ready for new
