linkshare

A very simple Google Chrome extension. It allows the current tab to be saved as a bookmark list. Optionally, the database of links can be synced with a remote Apache CouchDB, PouchDB or Cloudant database. As several clients can connect to the same database, adhoc groups of users can share the same links.

The following technologies are used:

• PouchDB - an in-browser database that syncs with anything that speaks the CouchDB replication protocol
• Picnic CSS - a lightweight CSS library (16k)
• ZeptoJS - lightweight alternative to jQuery (25k)
• Google Chrome Extensions API - gives Chrome extensions access to APIs that normal web apps don't
• IBM Design Language Icon Library

This example isn't designed to be ground-breaking or an exposition of best client-side development practice; there are no frameworks used here, just a single page of HTML and 100 lines of JavaScript.
