// Full Stack Link Management Platform

SnapLink.

SnapLink is a full-stack link management platform inspired by Bitly, built using the MERN stack with React and Next.js on the frontend and Node.js, Express, and MongoDB on the backend. The platform enables users to shorten URLs, track link analytics, generate QR codes, and create customizable bio pages from a single dashboard. I developed the complete system including authentication, link redirection logic, real-time click tracking, and a responsive user interface. SnapLink focuses on performance, scalability, and clean UX, making it suitable for creators, marketers, and businesses that need reliable link tracking and management.
