Book Exchange Application

[Kritika1994]

To support sustainaibility and minimalism, the idea is to create an application where on one hand you create a list of all the books you own, and on the other you create book you wish for. The system also has information about user location. Taking into account these 2 parameters i.e User Address as well as list of books the idea is to map demand and supply and figure out possible transactions and provide user with different options to exchange their books.
Features to be developed:

1. Algorithm that create a transaction between two, three or more people such that all the people involved get benefit from it.
2. Users can comment on the books, and share their learnings. Users can also upvote books they've read.
3. The app can be invite only to let users invite their friends to share and circulate books & learnings.
4. If no books available with the current set of users, it can crawl different website to get the book link. (This can be super helpful in case a book has high # of requests and is not available in general).
5. Integrated delivery system will have to be made.
6. user ratings based on the condition of books they've passed on, and also likes/comments/subscribers per user.
7. Stretch Goal: Based on the user's time to read(the time they got the book- they add the book to Pass On list), we can also show probable availability time for a book.

Incentives:

1. Develop reading culture, and get good recommendations and community support.
2. Minimalistic approach to read books.
3. Peer ratings, incentive to keep books in good condition.
