It's time we start cleaning up the design and UI for a better experience with our URL shortener.
Now that we've got a thorough test suite, we want to make sure tests are run anytime we push code to GitHub. We can setup GitHub Actions to test our code and automatically deploy it when tests pass.
Congratulations! We're all done! We now have a fully featured URL shortener that does everything we need plus some cool extras.
Rails now ships the Trix editor as a separate gem (action_text-trix) instead of being included in ActionText. This allows for separate releases independently of Rails.

In this lesson, we'll create a job to download a video, extract the audio with ffmpeg, transcribe the video with Whisper, and upload the captions to our hosting provider.
First things first, we need a Link model to store our
Analytics for links is a useful feature so lets record Views for links and show them in a graph
Copy to clipboard is a required feature for a URL shortener. We'll implement this with two JavaScript libraries (clipboardjs and tippy.js) and a Stimulus controller.
