Looking for some programming help brehs (Javascript based)...

[Jx2]

I am looking to adapt a concept that I had in the form of a webpage into a browser (chrome) application.

The bare bones concept is a front facing user friendly database of websites that (upon logging into their profile) allows users to visit/window shop these sites and upon finding sites they like, bookmark them so that when they access the app, they have the full original database of sites at their disposal along with a collection of the ones they've chosen. Users would be able to click add upon visiting a site they like in the original database and have them accessible in their personal collection, while deleting ones that are already saved in their collection.

Ideally, I would like to make this a full stack javascript project, but Im having a hard time figuring out the best course of action. I've been working on full stack development via the MEAN stack, but I don't know if the full stack is necessary.

Should I just build an angular front end with accompanying basic javascript, css, html and then tie that to specific database type. Or should I be exploring storing that stuff through google api's?

I would like some guidance and helpful input from the 6 cert squadron here. Any and all help is greatly appreciate fam

I'm not entirely sure what advice you're looking for. Are you trying to figure out where you should start when building this? If that's the case, I'd start thinking about the data you need to represent the system. The user data you need to collect, how the site information would look when you need to store and retrieve it. After that I might start mocking up the first page they'll encounter, then try to connect that with the data you'll be using. When you get to that point you might be to revise your data. From then on it'll be iterative over those two steps for a short time and your model should stabilize. After that it should just be building your UI and touching up some of your back end functionality.

I'm not even sure what you want. I've read over your post several times but it sounds like an elaborate bookmark.

Honestly, its not even an elaborate bookmark.

I'm shooting for a browser extension that serves as a stored database of links to different websites across the internet that can be bookmarked upon the user finding ones that are relevant to their cause.

Each time the user clicks on the chrome extension dropdown, they would have access to the full database of stored website links, as well as all of the bookmarked links that they've set aside for themselves that they've deemed as relevant to their daily work affairs. They would be able to add sites from the stored database as well as remove links that they've stored that they no longer use.

Basic as fukk honestly. I'm just trying to figure out the best approach as far as developing this concept into a chrome extension, which I've never built before. My biggest question is how should I be attaching my front-end (which will likely be in angularJS) with a database as far as a Chrome extension would be concerned.

I had originally built this concept through a now defunct website (listed in my sig) that I determined was much better served from a UI standpoint as a browser extension and not a website that relied heavily on site framing. I was using MySQL for a database at the time.
