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'm Dris, a 17y/o solo founder. Over the past few weeks, I've been developing LIRA, a free Chrome extension that helps you take notes & get instant answers on any site. Instead of switching tabs or copying/pasting to ChatGPT, just select and right-click text, images, or links to save a note or ask LIRA anything. LIRA can instantly find accurate answers, summaries, and explanations, and automatically highlights correct answers. I made LIRA to help busy students like myself study smarter, not longer!

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!

Quizlet, a popular tool among high schoolers and college students used to study for tests recently made it's core functionality paid.

I'm 15, and I'm excited to do my part to keep education free for everyone. https://openlearn.vercel.app

Hi guys. I’m looking for some feedback from the great HN community. I just soft launched the beta version of my humble bookshelf application, bookqueue. I've been working on it as a pet project since 2007. The idea is having a place to track all books you have been reading and having some nice stats around it, with less focus in the social aspects. My own queue can be found here: http://bookqueue.net/caffo You can also create your own at http://bookqueue.net/ Thanks!
