क़िताबघर / Kitaabghar

Kitaab (क़िताब) in Hindi means "a book" and Ghar (घर), "a house". In its simplest version, it's a house of books!

In Action

The application has been deployed on Netlify and is available here Kitaabghar

Note: Tried and tested on both Android and iPhone web browsers.

Background

I read a lot. Or at least I try my best to. However, in the hopes of which, I do end up endlessly stacking my book shelves with new/used books. There was one time where I ended up buying the same book twice because I just didn't recollect buying it the first time. At that point, I realised that I need to have an inventory. I looked up online for some personal library management applications. There are so many, and all of them solve many different problems. Although, I had one specific problem on my hand and I needed a focused solution to that problem. That's how Kitaabghar came into existence.

Technology Stack

The application has been booted off of Create React App so needless to say, React is the driving force behind this web application. Apart from that, I have made use of almost all the supportive tech-stacks that help React what it is, a really good JavaScript library.

1. Typescript
2. React-Redux
3. React-Router
4. Material UI
5. JWT
6. Zebra Crossing (for scanning EAN-13 ISBN barcodes)
7. Jest, for unit testing
