Show HN: 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 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. https://www.librari.io/ July 19, 2025 at 12:58AM
