Book Trading Club

A web application for users to help borrow books. When a user posts a book, other users can send a request to borrow that book. The owner of the book can then decide whether to accept or reject the borrow request. The backend consists of Node.js and MongoDB with a REST API. Libraries and APIs used include PassportJS (for user authentication), Google Books API (for getting book details).

To use the hosted version, just use a random email and password. Since it is not connected to an email service, no email based authentication is required.
