LinkCollectr

Live App

LinkCollectr is an easy to use web app which allows you to organize your favorite links into collections which can be accessed from any device.

I approached this project by planning first. I put together my user stories and wireframe, and researched many technologies, before writing a line of code.

Then I wrote my back-end API using Rails. I approached this process methodically and testing each new endpoint as I added them. I made sure data could only be edited or deleted by the user who created it.

Once my API was solid, I began putting together my front-end using Ember. As I am new to Ember, this process took longer than expected but I learned a lot.

There are multiple features (such as tagging, viewing other user's collections and being able to favorite other user's collections) which I have not yet had time to implement. I plan to continue building on this project to add these features.

Entity Relationship Diagram

Link is not a join table. It is associated with both user and collection.
