What it does
BookHoard catalogs your library about as fast as you accumulate it: scan a barcode and the book's on your shelf in seconds, or photograph a whole bookshelf and add the lot at once. Then it does the things a list can't; flags duplicates before you rebuy, finds the volumes missing from your series, values the collection for insurance, and tells you how many of your books someone has tried to ban. No ads, no tracking, no feed. Your shelves were always your business.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. Guarded closer than ever. This update is about your reading. Private, steady, and yours. • What you read stays private. A book can no longer reach the internet while you read it. Some ebook files hide images or fonts that report when and where they were opened; BookHoard now blocks them. • Choose your page. Read on white, sepia, grey or black, in books and PDFs alike. Highlights stay clear on every one. • The last page is the end. Books finish at 100%, and your place is kept exactly — even if you close a book with the controls showing. • PDFs, read like books.

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
The missing link of a bookstore's tech stack2025 · bookhead.net · ▲95Hi 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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
