Overview
The challenge
Users should be able to:
View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device's screen size
Shorten any valid URL
See a list of their shortened links, even after refreshing the browser
Copy the shortened link to their clipboard in a single click
Receive an error message when the
form is submitted if: Screenshot
Add a screenshot of your solution. The easiest way to do this is to use Firefox to view your project, right-click the page and select "Take a Screenshot". You can choose either a full-height screenshot or a cropped one based on how long the page is. If it's very long, it might be best to crop it.
Alternatively, you can use a tool like FireShot to take the screenshot. FireShot has a free option, so you don't need to purchase it.
Then crop/optimize/edit your image however you like, add it to your project, and update the file path in the image above.
Note: Delete this note and the paragraphs above when you add your screenshot. If you prefer not to add a screenshot, feel free to remove this entire section.
