Book Cafe’s core strength lies in its smart algorithm, implemented with a separation-of-concern approach across both the frontend and backend.
- How it works: The algorithm tracks user interactions, such as liked books and authors, and uses this data to suggest books from similar genres or by the liked authors. This ensures a personalized and engaging experience for every user.
- Frontend: React
- Backend: Node.js, Express.js
- Database: MongoDB
- Deployment: Heroku
- Cloud Services: Cloudinary
We integrated Cloudinary for managing user profile photos. When a user uploads a profile picture:
- The photo is stored in Cloudinary, and the generated URL is saved in the database.
- This URL is retrieved and sent to the frontend, ensuring that users see their profile photo every time they log in.
Book Cafe combines advanced technology with user-centric design to redefine how readers discover and interact with books.
