Bookmark Manager

This week's project is a bookmark manager. The goal is to expose you to the following aspects of web development, in addition to what we've studied before:

Integration testing: Capybara (Monday)
Relational databases (Tuesday and Wednesday)
Security considerations (Thursday)

High-level specification

The website will have the following options:

• Show a list of links from the database
• Add new links
• Add tags to the links
• Filter links by a tag

Technologies used
