Abstract:
The driving concept of the "Readers Circle" project is to create a network of readers, where it will be possible to borrow, lend, or buy books on the digital platform. It's a smartphone app focused on cost, sustainability, and accessibility; solving problems like the high cost and limited availability of specific books. The app ensures a seamless experience through state-of-the-art tech, and is powered by Firebase backend and Flutter for cross-platform development. We investigate the platform design and implementation and describe the objectives and approaches, the resources implemented, etc. That in turn raises awareness to the social and environmental impact of the project, for the community to participate and for it to adopt sustainable reading habits. In addition to solving practical problems, "Readers Circle" can assist in forming a knowledge society. The results of extensive testing as well as feedback will be presented here in the context of a comprehensive analysis of the system architecture, the database design, and the user interfaces. The initiative is an important step toward a linked and sustainable literary environment because of its creative approach, which provides a scalable solution that can be adjusted to other places.
