    I've been working on librari.io for the past several months and just launched the beta version. The Problem: I have 500+ books across multiple rooms in my house and was desperately looking for an app to manage them properly. Most library management apps are either too basic or designed for institutional libraries with rigid workflows that don't fit personal use. What I Built: - Multiple libraries: manage collections in different locations - Location tracking - remember exactly which shelf each book is on - Loan management - track books you've lent to friends - Custom fields & tags - store…

    Hey HN! I built a little side project I wanted to share. Shelvy is a free, visual bookshelf app where you can organize books you're reading, want to read, or have finished. Sign in to save your own collection. Not monetized, no ads, no tracking beyond basic auth. Just a fun weekend project that grew a bit. Live: https://shelvybooks.com Would love any feedback on the UX or feature ideas!

    My story: I founded this a couple of years ago because my school (I was 11/12 at the time) had recently purchased a library system which was horrible and ugly. I thought it could be made much better, so I coded for months on end to get this product working. I submitted this to a TV competition on national TV and got the opportunity to pitch this product in front of 500,000 viewers. I received a bursary of €2,000 from the show and used that money to grow the business. Currently the business is thriving and is growing rapidly. I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks, Shane

Many business users spend time extracting key information from files like invoices, contracts and other documents. Boards eliminate the need for this by focussing on 3 things: 1. Flexibility: boards can be easily tailored to suit your business. Start from a template or create a board from scratch. 2. Automating data entry: to import information into your board, simply upload files or email your board. 3. Simplifying change: when a business…
