What's next?

Bookly was born from the idea of creating a practical mobile app for library users.
Creating Bookly taught me simplifying complex tasks and tailoring a product to user needs. Looking ahead, I would like to expand Bookly’s capabilities by integrating an online bookstore. This will make Bookly a comprehensive app for all reading needs, enabling users to discover, borrow, and purchase books.
