Inspiration

I was part of a book club in which I could contribute just one book, but I would get a new book from someone each month. It was a book rotation thing and as new members joined, existing members would get new books. This app does the same thing but a little differently.

What it does

This app does the same thing but a little differently. You can contribute as many books as you want and get as many as you want and choose them yourself in a given location. You can meet up, socialize and collect the books within your own locality/school.

This app aims to reduce the cost of buying books and also aims to connect people who want to read and create a community.

How we built it

This app is built as a mobile app using expo-CLI, react native, and typescript.

What's next for Barter Books

This app could further go to have forums to discuss your books and what you felt after reading them. It can also have a trail to show who has read the book and what they think about it.
