Shorten URLs and track clicks with referrer data, geographic stats, and click-over-time charts.
The prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or any AI tool connected to Hatchable via MCP.
Build a URL shortener with click analytics. Users sign up and paste long URLs to generate short links. Each short link has a custom alias option and tracks every click with timestamp, referrer, and user agent. The dashboard shows all shortened links with total click counts. Clicking a link's analytics opens a detail page showing: clicks over time (line chart), top referrers (bar chart), and a recent clicks log. Include a quick-shorten bar on the homepage that works without sign-up (anonymous links with limited analytics). Clean, data-focused design. Deploy it on Hatchable when done.
