Short post! Working on a book app with React Native for my portfolio. So far, it is able to search the Internet Archive’s Open Library search API for input a user makes.

The results look like this:

So the user inputs “Earthsea” for example, and then the Open Library returns all the books that relate to that keyword. Currently, my app is formatting and displaying the results. And in the future, it will be able to save individual results to your TBR. That means persistent, native storage on your iOS or Android device!

I also plan on paginating the search results, grabbing book images, and adding a tab to view and remove items from the TBR! So stay tuned! You can watch the GitHub repo at https://github.com/wright-benjamin-1701/book-app for updates.
