I built library management app for those who outgrew spreadsheets

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…

In plain words

Librari.io is a book management application designed for personal library collectors who need more than spreadsheets but less rigidity than institutional systems. It enables users to organize books across multiple physical locations, track shelf placement, manage loans to friends, add custom fields and tags, and monitor reading progress. The app features a modern interface and currently operates in beta as the creator refines responsiveness based on user feedback.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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 any additional book info the way YOU think about them - Reading progress tracking - dates, duration, personal ratings - Modern UI/UX - clean & actually enjoyable to use Current Status: - Beta version live - Working on improving the responsiveness of the app and addressing initial user feedback Would love feedback! Especially curious about: - What features would make YOU actually use a library management app? - UI/UX feedback always welcome - Any book collectors here who'd be interested in beta testing? Looking forward to your thoughts! Thank you in advance.

    Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

    Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
