• Django: A high-level Python web framework that provides the foundation for the application's backend logic and database management.

• Python: The primary programming language used for building the backend logic and handling server-side operations.

• HTML: The markup language used for structuring the web pages and content presentation.

• CSS: The styling language used for defining the visual appearance and layout of the web pages.

• JavaScript: The programming language used for implementing interactive features and client-side functionality.

• MySQL Database: The database management system used for storing bookmark data and managing relationships between bookmarks and categories.

Once the Bookmark Manager is set up and running, users can perform the following actions:

• Add Bookmarks: Users can add new bookmarks by providing a title, URL, and optional description.

• Edit Bookmarks: Users can edit existing bookmarks to update their title, URL, or description.

• Delete Bookmarks: Users can delete bookmarks that are no longer needed.
