Hello there,

Why are you trying to go to this location?:
https://boilerplate-project-urlshortener.controlunit.repl.co/index.html

The index.html file is served with this code:

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(process.cwd() + '/views/index.html');
});

It is served at this location:
https://boilerplate-project-urlshortener.controlunit.repl.co

Hope this clarifies.
