RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a self-hosted SaaS clone of ReSlug's core workflow: generate short branded links, attach UTM templates, group them into campaigns, and show bot-filtered click analytics (geo, device, referrer, real-time). User-facing requirements: dashboard with link list, link creation form (original URL, custom slug, custom domain, UTM presets, tags/folders, QR code, expiry, optional geo/device routing), per-link and per-campaign analytics charts, CSV import/export, link-in-bio page, and simple API key management. Technical requirements: SQL database for links/clicks, background job for click ingestion, user agent parsing for bot filtering, GeoIP lookup, rate limiting, REST API for CRUD and event hooks (signed webhooks with retries), and Docker deployment. Choose a stack (e.g., Next.js/PostgreSQL/Redis/Node or Django/Postgres/Celery) and implement it in a monorepo. Do not copy ReSlug's name, branding, or UI. Out of scope: billing/subscriptions, multi-tenant team roles, MCP server, custom SSL provisioning (assume wildcard cert), PDF exports, and mobile apps. Include a README with setup steps, environment variables, and known limitations (e.g., IP geolocation accuracy, bot detection heuristics, scalable click ingestion).
