GitLab

The global caused errors on unmigrated databases, and it could
potentially cause threading errors in larger scale production
envrionments.

- a very productive day

- was a CharField but that limited short urls to be just characters
- now a SlugField which better accomidates urls with numbers,hypens, etc.
- included migration since I think that's what you do(?)

ran project through flake8; remaining errors either a couple characters over the line limit (89) or stylistically intentional or logically significant

Better approval system: admins can go into the admin interface and check an 'approved' box for all users who submit requests. Verify that usernames aren't colliding.
