Inspiration

The two of us are avid readers and we wanted to find book clubs that we can join, but there really isn't a application for that. So we developed this application to ease that process and to help users make lasting relationships.

What it does

This application allows users to find, create, and join rooms to talk about specific books or just literature in general.

How we built it

We built our app using the Vue.js framework, express.js / node.js for our backend, and socket.io in order to send messages between people.

Challenges we ran into

Because Matthew didn't test code before doing the frontend using something like Postman, we ran into issues that we thought were problems with the frontend. One of us wasn't familiar with frontend development, so there was teaching and yelling.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This was our first time creating a chat application and we are proud to have learned more about web development from this.

What we learned

Creating this project has taught us more about how a chat app functions. Another important lesson we learned is that it is important to communicate with your partner if you are working on any application of sorts to understand their code. Finally, we learned more about problem solving and utilizing the tools that are given to us.

What's next for Bookific?

We plan to add quality of life features to Bookific to make this application feel more comfortable for users such as UI/UX changes and just other features in general to make the application feel more vibrant.
