01 / THE IDEA

What it does

Manahsmriti Books is a home for keeping track of a real book collection. It combines a searchable shared catalog with a separate private library for each signed-in reader.

The practical details matter here: shelf locations, verification status, search, sorting and a wardrobe map help connect the catalog to physical books. Firestore synchronizes changes across devices.
