Book review app, named in honour of my book-loving wife Lolo. Designed to let you capture, track and manage your thoughts on all the books you've read - all in one place! And uses the Google Books API so book cover images get pulled in automatically.
Showcases my ability to build a modern full-stack react app with serverless functions, connecting to MongoDB and handling CRUD operations.
Tech used: React, Next.js, React Hook Form, Material UI, Axios, TanStack Query, Redux, MongoDB, Google Books API, Serverless functions.
