In version 2, we used TypeScript and we moved from Neo4j to PostgreSQL database in favor of performance and we're working on adding new features. If you're coming from v1, refer to [MIGRATION.md](MIGRATION.md) to migrate data from Neo4j to PostgreSQL. You can still find the stable version (v1) in the [v1](https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt/tree/v1) branch. ## Table of Contents - [Key Features](#key-features) - [Stack](#stack) - [Setup](#setup) - [Browser Extensions](#browser-extensions) - [API](#api) - [Integrations](#integrations) - [3rd Party Packages](#3rd-party-packages) - [Contributing](#contributing) ## Key Features - Free and open source. - Custom domain support. - Custom URLs for shortened links - Setting password for links. - Private statistics for shortened URLs. - View and manage your links. - RESTful API. ## Stack - Node (Web server) - Express (Web server framework) - Passport (Authentication) - React (UI library) - Next (Universal/server-side rendered React) - Easy Peasy (State management) - styled-components (CSS styling solution library) - Recharts (Chart library) - PostgreSQL (database) - Redis (Cache layer) ## Setup You need to have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) and [Redis](https://redis.io/) installed. 1.
