TBR Bookshelf

A personal reading-tracker web app that visualizes a "to be read" list as a virtual bookshelf, pulling data from GoodReads.

01The problem

GoodReads' own interface makes it hard to get a clean, visual sense of an existing to-be-read list — there's no simple "bookshelf" view of what's queued up next.

02What we built

A lightweight web app that syncs with a GoodReads account and renders the to-be-read list as a visual virtual bookshelf, with sorting and filtering options. It was built as a personal project and gift.

Outcome

Turns a plain list into something genuinely useful and pleasant to browse — a working example of a small, complete, end-to-end app build.
