Very well done! I like it.

Some feedback to give you:

  1. Sometimes the API returns a book description with html tags and they’re shown.
  2. Some sections need a little more styling IMO.

Other than that I think it works great. Congrats!

Is this for a challenge a didn’t see yet?

Thank Spaniard,

I am not sure why sometimes the google API returns description with html tags. I can possibly find a library to remove those tags. I have to say I am not very good at design. I do not use any UI framework/library, instead I just code mostly from scratch…

The book trading app project is used to be a part of the back end project
Now it’s a part of the take-home-project

Ahh, alright. Maybe I’ll give it a chance sometime in the future :slight_smile:

Hope it works for you.
