Design and wireframes

Before we start building, we should always take a look at what we plan to build.

Firstly, a brief description of our intent: we plan to build an app that will display a simple form to the user. The user will be encouraged to enter a URL into the form and submit that form.

A unique code will be generated and associated with the URL entered by the user. This URL and unique code will be saved to a database.

A new URL will be shown to the user containing the unique code we just generated. That unique code will be appended to the URL of the app we're building. Should the user (or anyone else) click on that link, the app will look up the unique code in the database. If the unique code exists, it will redirect the user to the original URL associated with that unique code.
