💡 Highlights

🔍 What problem does it solve?

Most users struggle with a "bookmark graveyard"—hundreds of saved links that are never revisited because they aren't organized. LinkStash allows you to quickly categorize and tag links as you save them, making them instantly discoverable later.

⚙️ One interesting technical challenge

Implementing Real-Time Cloud-Local Synchronization in Manifest V3. Since service workers are ephemeral, we had to build a robust sync engine that handles state persistence between chrome.storage.local and Firestore, ensuring zero data loss and seamless offline support.

🌟 Notable Feature: Folder Sharing

Generate unique, shareable URLs for entire folders of links. This allows users to curate resources (like a "Reading List" or "Project Assets") and share them with a single click, bridging the gap between personal bookmarks and collaborative knowledge sharing.

• One-Click Saving: Context menu and popup triggers.
