Show HN: Shelvy Books

https://shelvybooks.com
12•tekkie00•2h ago
Hey HN! I built a little side project I wanted to share.

Shelvy is a free, visual bookshelf app where you can organize books you're reading, want to read, or have finished. Sign in to save your own collection.

Not monetized, no ads, no tracking beyond basic auth. Just a fun weekend project that grew a bit.

Live: https://shelvybooks.com

Would love any feedback on the UX or feature ideas!

Out of curiosity. Where does the metadata for the books come from?
fifferfaffer•1h ago
Cool! I used to use goodreads and have been looking for another way to organize my digital bookshelf.

Some UI/UX feedback since you mentioned it:

- The bounding box for the books is large enough that I can trigger the popup of a book on shelf row-1 from current row.

Is it possible to import Goodreads history?

Wow, the shelf UI is a real throwback to the old iBooks shelf design! Looks great. +1 on the bounding box issue, it takes me out of the flow when accidentally triggering a book below the current shelf.

I have completely lost track of what I have read and my thoughts. I really should journal. That being said as somebody else mentioned this is very pleasing to the eye. The UI with no ads and no buy buttons is so refreshing. I see that some of the covers are from specific editions. Any way to change those? Where are they coming from? I will give it a try and add a few books and see. Good job!
