Book Library APP Live

Summary:

I’m excited to share that Book-Library, my new web app for discovering and organizing books, is now live!


With Book-Library, you can search the Google Books API to find titles and authors of books in a clean, modern interface. It’s built with Next.js 15, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and Shadcn/ui. It’s designed to be fast, responsive, and user-friendly, plus it's a PWA so it can be downloaded for offline collection viewing.


Future:

This is the first public version, and while the core search and display features are in place, there’s still a lot more planned for the future.

Custom book lists | Search filters in My Library page | Editable book details | Login and sync across devices | Theme customization | Social features like book clubs and discussions

Early Development Stage:

Book-Library is still in early development, so you may run into the occasional bug or feature that feels incomplete. If you spot something that’s not working quite right, or if you have ideas for making the app better, I’d love to hear from you.

You can reach me directly at kevinhenleyinfo@gmail.com.

Thanks for checking it out, and happy collecting!
