Book Trading Platform
A mobile-first platform for discovering, listing, and exchanging books with real-time chat.
Project Overview
Book Trading Platform is a book exchange app designed around a simple flow: add books to your library, find people nearby who want what you have, and coordinate the swap in a chat that keeps the whole exchange in one place.
The product focus is on reducing friction during the “I have it / I want it” moment — barcode-based lookup for fast cataloging, clean inventory management, and messaging that’s tied directly to the books being discussed.
Highlights
- Barcode scanning + ISBN search across a large catalog (28M+ titles)
- Personal library and wishlist management
- Real-time chat to coordinate swaps
- Exchange flow that tracks what’s being offered and requested
Scope & Technologies
- Mobile UX for scanning, search, and book detail views
- Library screens for ownership status (available, reserved, swapped)
- Messaging UI with book context (what book is being discussed)
- Deep links to demo and repository
