Bookwyrm

Bookwyrm is a site for reviewing and recommending books to others. It pulls book data from Openlibrary. I originally created this as a practice website using React.js and FaunaDB; that code can still be found here and the site can be found here. Now, Bookwyrm is written in Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL.

Welcome to BookWyrm!

About

Bookwyrm is a platform for book reviews and recommendations. It is written in Ruby on Rails, and uses artificial intelligence to give recommendations. You can review books, add books, search books and authors, and view other users.

To run locally:

Make sure that you have postgres installed. On a mac, the easiest way to get started is Postgres.app.
Run git clone https://github.com/ztcollazo/bookwyrm.git
Start the postgres server.
Run rails db:migrate
Run bin/dev. Bookwyrm uses vite_ruby to bundle javascript along with the rails app, so bin/dev runs a foreman process alongside the server.

Testing

Bookwyrm uses RSpec for tests. bin/rspec will run the tests.
