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.

Would love any feedback on the UX or feature ideas!

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.

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.

Out of curiosity. Where does the metadata for the books come from?
