Books Project

This is a project for my friend who studies at university and needs help with a web development course.

Demo

Description

There are three roles:

• Guest can add bookmarks (session storage);

• User can add bookmarks. The bookmarks are saved on AirTable. User can update a nickname and an avatar. A New User is added automatically when he logs in with a login that is not on AirTable;

• Admin can do the same things that user can do. Also he can add/remove books and users.

Disadvantages

I wanted to use Firebase. I've worked a lot with Firebase, so after thinking, I have chosen AirTable as something new for me. AirTable isn’t equal to Firebase. It hasn’t got any auth methods. So my auth is quite simple and isn’t defend from hacks.

Advantages

My design and animations look pretty interesting. Also there is a good code base in the project.

Peculiarity

I have created this project for my friend, who doesn’t know JS as good as I would like to. So I haven’t used any frameworks like React or Vue. I understand that with frameworks the project's codebase will be smaller. But I think Vanilla JS is better to understand than some kind of framework.

Feedback

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Todo

• add functionality for add/update/remove authors
• add logic to a facet filter on the home page
