Web application for cataloguing and managing a home book collection. Add books by scanning their ISBN barcode with a phone camera — metadata is automatically fetched from the Hungarian National Library (OSZK) database. Browse, search, and manage the full collection from any device.
Point your phone camera at the barcode on the back of a book. The app looks up the ISBN in the OSZK Nektár database and fills in the title, author, publisher, publication year, and other details automatically. If the book isn't found, all fields can be filled in manually.
Tip for the description field: photograph the back cover or inner blurb, let your phone's gallery AI recognise the text, copy it, and paste it directly into the description field.
The full collection is displayed in a searchable, sortable table. Click any row to open the book's detail panel. From there you can edit details, change the book's storage location or lending status, or remove it from the collection.
