Book Tracker Web Application Development

A responsive Node.js and Express web application for managing books, ratings, reviews, and reading collections.

The Book Tracker Web Application is a responsive and interactive reading management platform developed using Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, and EJS. This project allows users to organize their personal reading collections by adding, editing, deleting, and viewing books with categories, ratings, and reviews in a clean and user-friendly interface.

The application includes advanced functionality such as search, sorting, filtering, and pagination to improve the browsing experience for large book collections. In addition, users can upload dynamic cover images either manually or through the Open Library API, making the platform visually engaging and practical for book lovers.

To create a seamless user experience, the project uses EJS templates with responsive UI styling and interactive flip-card components. Flash messages and session handling provide clear user feedback during actions such as adding or updating books.

The backend architecture is built with Express.js and PostgreSQL for reliable data handling and efficient CRUD operations. Multer integration enables smooth image uploads and storage management. Overall, the project demonstrates strong full-stack development skills, database integration, API handling, and responsive frontend design.
