Built ShelfSwap (https://shelfswap.io). I enjoy reading, but books are getting expensive, and many of us already have shelves of good books we’re done with. This is a simple platform to swap physical books and connect with other readers.

I used this as a real end-to-end project to sharpen my backend skills in Go (API design, data modeling, deployment), while also experimenting with AI-assisted development. It’s live, and I’ve already made a few organic connections through it.

Would be cool to auto-sync with existing book management tools like clz.com/books. Also, are swaps mutual exchanges, or are members giving books away with nothing in return?
