Book 2 you week 5
Thoughts
The work is getting harder, this used to be a project I looked forward to doing, but now it's becoming a task. This week I was so excited to work with an organization that sells old books, but that didn't go through as planned. After that I started to cave in, I got comfortable with making new features that are useful, but the whole project is useless unless people use the app. I have to start reaching out, I need people to say the app is shit, I need to hear that so I can make it better so the new generation can read more. It's going to be a hard journey but I have to keep going. I have to stop fearing failure.

What I got done
Changed the name from Book 2 man to Book 2 you - my friend gave me an awesome suggestion, because its more inclusive and sounds much more personal
I made ISBN scan, so that works great and I’m very happy about that. I’m thinking of a slogan like Scan it, sell it (still in beta).
My brother just told me CRAZY IDEA, I CAN JUST TAKE THE LISTINGS OFF THE INTERNET AND PUT THEM IN MY DATABASE. (I haven’t researched this)
Next week
I’ve got to start reaching out to people more, I’m scared to put this on my main story on Instagram, and I don’t want people to say it's bad, because I worked very hard on this project. I’m going to do a bigger release now, once I make the homepage better. I’m thinking of Reddit forums, in-person reading clubs, and more things of that nature. If you have an idea that helps me reach more people, please don’t hesitate to put it in the comments or message me directly. ( email me at lifeofjeso@gmail.com)
Technical information : )
ISBN: International Standard Book Number, its a barcode for identifying books, I plan on using this in the future so people can list books faster.
