  • linkDB pulls the following KEYS as categories:
    • linkDB [Title, Tags, Description, URL, Rating, Date Added] 
    • linkTags [list of available tags]
    • Rating (future feature)
  • The Google Apps Script (linkDB Script) handles the pulling from the spreadsheet and writes the contents to an app that is displayed on thedtn.org site.
  • added search feature:
