Problem
Creators and small teams needed branded short links and QR codes with real analytics — without paying enterprise link-platform pricing or stitching three tools together.
The build had to be a complete SaaS: auth, plans, billing, and dashboards — not a URL-shortener demo.
Approach
Next.js frontend with a Ruby on Rails API, PostgreSQL for link/click data, and Redis for rate limiting.
QR generation and click tracking (device, country, referrer) wired into a creator-facing dashboard.
Stripe Free/Pro plans with email + Google OAuth so the commercial loop was first-class.
Outcome
Delivered a production-shaped link management SaaS with branded links, QR output, analytics, and paid plans — usable as a growth tool rather than an engineering prototype.
