Hey Product Hunt! π
I'm thrilled to launch librari.io today - a library management platform I built out of pure frustration with existing solutions.
The backstory:
As someone with a growing book collection, I tried every library app available. They all fell short - either too simplistic or unnecessarily complex. But what really frustrated me was how old-fashioned and clunky they felt to use. Most had outdated interfaces that made organizing books feel like a chore rather than a joy. The user experience was consistently poor across the board.
What makes librari.io different:
π Multi-library architecture - Separate personal, professional, family libraries with independent settings
π± Smart ISBN scanning - Add books instantly with metadata auto-population
π― Unlimited customization - Custom fields for books, authors, publishers that adapt to YOUR needs
π Physical location tracking - Virtual shelving system that mirrors your actual book organization
π₯ Advanced lending management - Never lose track of borrowed books again
π Meaningful analytics - Reading patterns, speed tracking, genre preferences over time
β Modern UX/UI - Built with contemporary web technologies for a delightful experience
Current status:
We're live in beta! During the beta period, users get completely free access to all features with 1 library supporting up to 200 books. After beta, we'll have a generous free tier and affordable paid plans for larger collections.
For the PH community:
I'd love your feedback! Whether you're a casual reader or serious bibliophile, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what we've built.
Thanks for the support, and happy to answer any questions! π
