Honeycomb🐝 is built with a React front end, a Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL back end, Paper.js for the honeycomb-like design, and Kumarai Gem to srape all websites for necessary metadata. All styling was done with custom CSS. The live link for Honeycomb🐝 is deployed on Netlify with Heroku for the back end.
The name Honeycomb comes from the design of how the bookmarks are displayed. The design is actually a voronoi diagram which creates a honeycomb effect. Users are both able to create bookmarks and search for a saved bookmark. Once a user comes across a website they would like to save, they simply have to copy the url and paste it into the search bar. It is now saved. Simply search for the site by typing the title of the bookmarked site.
Users are able to save a bookmark. Once you navigate to a website that you are interested in saving for later; copy the url address, paste it in the search bar, and then wait a couple seconds. That's it! It's bookmarked.
Once a bookmark is saved, simply begin searching for the website's name. Honeycomb scrapes the bookmark's h1 title, body text, and main image.
