Made my side project live
I'm a Computer Science student and as a side project, I decided to build an eBook download site. I built it last year and was using it alone but then I thought of sharing it. It's Bookle, an eBook download platform. I'm a beginner at indie hacking so I think this is cool to get me into the spirit
Please let me know your feedback and anything I'm missing.

This is a great initiative but how do you give it for free? The books listed don't object?
It's an eBook downloader. Any book you can find on the platform can be downloaded for free. I'm fixing some bugs before I enable the download.
I think she may be asking because authors don't usually want their books given away for free so you could get in trouble
But amazing progress! Great job! I wish I had started when I was a student
Hmm, The platform has a scraper. So I guess any book with complaints about copyright will be removed or blocked from the index.
Great app btw. A quick feedback, it would be great to hit enter key after entering a search term. Right now you have to click on the button to initiate the search.
What’s your stack for this project? If you don't mind - I would love to help with fixing bugs
Okay, thanks for the feedback.
Backend: Node, express
Front-end: Bulma, ejs, jquery
It's nice to see other CS college students on here! I think the simple UI is great, but I'm having issues actually downloading the books. I'm not sure if it's because you haven't implemented download links yet, or maybe it's my AdBlocker?
Yeeaah, the download isn't active yet. I'm working on it. THANK YOU
