The Book Shelf

I launched The Book Shelf (a book search and reviews site) together with Hannah Eberts, designer, and Dominick Nelson, back end developer. As the front end developer, I combined their work with a nice UI aided by Bulma, which helped us to complete the project on time without sacrificing the quality or consistency of the design.

The Book Shelf was built to provide a space for people to add their favorite books, look at reviews, and find information. We planned the website together, from brainstorming first ideas to a week by week project timeline made in Asana. We also added user accounts, complex searches, dark mode, and a popup to save favorites, using a mix of PHP, JavaScript, and SQL to make the site interactive, functional, and persistent.

In the end, we had an awesome digital bookshelf we could all be proud of.
