OnGoing Summary

This project is a Flask web application that expands shortened URLs and takes screenshots of the resulting web pages using Selenium with a headless Chrome browser.

Main features:

• User submits a URL via a web form (served from index.html).
• Backend uses the requests library to follow redirects and expand the URL.
• Selenium loads the expanded URL in a headless browser and saves a screenshot to app/static/screenshots/screenshot.png.
• The result (expanded URL and screenshot) is rendered back to the user.
• Runs with Flask's built-in server (debug) or Hypercorn (production).
• Static assets (CSS, images, screenshots) are organized under app/static/.
• Includes Dockerfile, Makefile, and requirements.txt for containerization, automation, and dependencies.

Overall, it is a web tool for expanding shortened URLs and visually previewing their destination.
