Book2Man week 4
Added Loaders
Began working on the delete feature for books - it's not done yet, but I've gained better insight into how to complete it.
However, I was quite lazy this week. I had planned to work on book2you while traveling from Singapore. I managed to work a little, but my attempt to migrate my code ended in disaster. So, I reverted to the old version and continued working on the delete feature.
I was able to talk to a volunteer at my local library and she said if I can set up something that helps categorize the the books and help price it better it would be a great help. She gave me the number of the executive director so I can help them sell their books through book2you.
I GOT MY FIRST TWO LISTINGS TOO. it was a friend but its the first time anyone actually used my platform.
Focus for next week.
Scan ISBN
Make a better frontpage so people can figure out what book2you does
Technical information : )Â
I tried migrating to Next.js, but it was quite challenging due to my limited experience with SSR (Server-Side Rendering). For now, I've opted to use React Helmet for SEO and plan to learn Next.js on the side to improve SEO capabilities.

NEXT js : is a javascript framework built on top of react js, while react renders on the client-side, next js renders on the server and serves static HTML pages to the client, meaning it is pure HTML that SEO bots can crawl
