π PROMPT 1: Build the Bookmark App
(Copy and paste this into Claude Code)
Create a new folder on my Desktop called my-bookmarks-app, then build me a personal bookmark dashboard as a single HTML file inside it. Heres what it should do:
Let me save bookmarks with a title, URL, category, and optional notes
Display all bookmarks as nice-looking cards in a grid layout
Include a search bar that filters bookmarks by title or category
Let me filter by category using clickable buttons
Save everything to the browsers local storage so bookmarks persist
Include some sample bookmarks so it doesnt look empty when it first loads
Make it look modern and clean with a blue color scheme
Let me delete bookmarks I dont want anymore
Make it responsive so it works on mobile too
