Hi HN! I built Bookhead because I used to work as a bookseller and I wasn't happy with the software options when I decided to sell my own collection online (with the hopes of one day growing so I can open my own brick & mortar). So I decided to make my own bookselling app...a classic hacker distraction. Bookhead has two main parts: 1. an inventory management app that allows a bookseller to list their books anywhere they want to sell books (like Squarespace, Biblio, eBay, Shopify (coming soon!), etc) 2. an e-commerce platform with a CMS for selling books and letting a store control their…

Hi, Just thought I want to put this beta site out for public review. It's a prototype of a cms/bookstore engine I am working on using google app engine. The total work so far is clocked at about 7.5 hours -- using Gaelyk is really productive if you know Grails. Comments and insights will be appreciated. http://www.bestbooks100.com
