Summary

Book tracker web app made using Spring Boot and Vaadin 14 (only the free components will be used).

Features:

• Add books that you have read to a 'read' shelf
• Add books that you are currently reading to a 'currently reading' shelf
• Add books that you would like to read to a 'want to read' shelf
• View books in your different shelves and make changes

Coming soon:

• Reading challenge: set yourself a goal of how many books you to read this year and track your progress towards accomplishing it
• Add your own shelves
• User registration and accounts
• And much more!

The images above may look slightly different to the app. If major changes are made, new images will be uploaded to reflect this.
