Products that do what I built library management app for those who outgrew spreadsheets does
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…

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

This is an app to easily manage a workload of multiple projects and to ease collaboration between teams. We built it on weekends whilst running our agency and it’s still very much in development. I’m posting it because I’m interested on what HNers think we should focus on next: * A ‘client view’ of each project? * Project level permissions to allow freelancers to access particular projects? * Estimates vs Actuals – see how they compare and use this data to predict future delivery times. You can sign up for a free lifetime account at the moment. Please comment if you have any feedback or…

https://shelf-bookmarks.stupidlabs.lol I have been using raindrop.io for years now, and it has worked perfectly for me. Seriously, no issues. But, bookmarks are something that are a bit too personal... they allow profiling you. And I don't want anyone doing that to me, Hence, this app. It's 100% offline and free. It's built in Rust using Tauri, is roughly 6MB only, is beautiful to look at, and packs more features than commercial ones. Make sure to checkout the "All features" page as well from the homepage. Also, it has an inbuilt api server (configurable) so you can automate as…
