Book List App

Book Explorer: A React-Based Book Listing Application Using Gutendex API

In this assignment, I built a dynamic book listing application utilizing the Gutendex API. The application allows users to explore a vast collection of books through features like search, filtering by various criteria, wishlist management, and pagination for browsing large datasets. Developed with React and TypeScript, the application offers a responsive design for seamless use across devices. Books can be added to a personal wishlist, which is stored in localStorage for persistence. The intuitive user interface enhances the user experience, making it easy to discover and manage favorite books.
