Submitted data from the form should be processed by the application.

There is no valid AppEngine configuration located in app.yaml.

A datastore entity should be considered and implemented to associate a hash with a link.

A unique hash should be assigned for each link.

There is no template for the root url('/'). This template can be used for both the GET and POST requests as directed by the form. Template allows the controller to remove the unnecessary elements from the DOM.

The application should look at the path supplied and try to look up an existing Url in the datastore and redirect(301) if it can and report(404) if it can't.

The appliction should construct a url that includes the hash so that it may be referenced in the future. This url is to be implemented in the view.

The application should route incoming requests that are anything BUT the root url as short urls.

The application is rendered as bare HTML which is not comfortable for the user. Wouldn't it be nice if it were given a bit of visual aesthetic?

The application should reference templates for content. This is good practice as it removes views from the controllers to maintain readability and maintainability. Of course our designers will appreciate it later on.

A single template can be used to render both a submission form as well as a displaying the generated url.

The application does not return any valid response.

Submitted long urls are not validated and can result in ShortUrls that do not redirect properly.
