Bookish is a polished, user-focused book-tracking app designed as a modern alternative to Goodreads. Engineered with React Native, it delivers a seamless cross-platform experience on both iOS and Android.

Core features include searching the Google Books API, creating custom shelves (Reading, To Read, Completed), rating and reviewing titles, and receiving personalized, genre-based recommendations.

Adopted TypeScript on the frontend to enforce strict typing between the Google Books API responses and our MongoDB schema, improving maintainability and reducing runtime errors.

Established unit tests with Vitest for key components and custom search-input validation, enhancing reliability and streamlining QA workflows.

All source code is publicly available with comprehensive READMEs: Frontend • Backend. Bookish demonstrates my ability to architect and deliver complete cross-platform solutions.
