BookCart.
An online platform to buy, sell, and rent books with ease.
01Overview
BookCart is an interactive e-commerce web application that provides users with the ability to buy, sell, and rent new or used books online. Developed using ReactJS and Firebase, it serves as a centralized bookstore where users can browse categorized book collections, filter or search for specific titles, and manage their orders. The platform supports user authentication, a librarian module (with admin approval), real-time availability, and detailed reports for both rented and sold books. Its goal is to make education and reading more accessible by creating a user-friendly and scalable book exchange system.
