Link Trim

Introduction

If you’re trying to share a very useful info with your growing audience, then you don’t want the links to those golden contents to upstage your efforts! Link Trim by The We FOSS Team is a Project that helps you to customize, as well as shorten a very long URL.

The objective of our project

The main objective of our project is, support the open-source community, and also train code newbies on how to contribute to the open-source community while training them for the future.

The objective of Link Trim is, to shorten the URL according to your preference.

For example, your Facebook bio supports only 100 characters. In case of Twitter, a single tweet can only hold 280 characters and a thread holds only 25 tweets in a row. By using our service, with shorter links and more space, you can add more info about what you're sharing in the social media.

What we learnt

We had a lot of professionals, but there were also newbies joining our project.

The knowledge and guidance of the professionals helped the newbies learn a lot of things like managing HTML, formatting CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, using Git, etc.
