Interview Development Task

Task

Your users would like a service for sharing bookmarks with one other. The service should have authentication to keep the bookmarks private to only registered users. Once authenticated all bookmarks are visible by all users. A user can post a new bookmark for all to see, but only that user can edit or delete the bookmark. All users like the to see the bookmarks in alphabetical order by title. New users can join the service via a public registration page.

Estimated time to complete: 3 - 4 hours

Requirements

The following requirements should follow Laravel best practices and should not be developed beyond the basic scope of the project. Before writing any code be sure to read the Laravel documentation related to the feature carefully. Laravel simplifies many things for you.

The user interface should be as simple as possible. The use of CSS is up to the developer and is not part of the evaluation. If you wish to use a UI library make sure it is included in the templates via CDN.
