How i built it

I built it using python and javascript and i used Djnago as the web framework. You need not to add titles or description of your links , link_processing.py files handles it , i used web scraping approaches like scraping SEO Meta tags using the libarry beautifulsoup4 and requests module to ping and get the contents of the webpage.
