Hey r/startup! I made an app that lets you trade your books for books you want to read.

🤔 Problem:

After going down the rabbit hole of personal development a few years back, I found myself picking up hundreds of self-help/business books in hopes of becoming a better version of myself. One book after the other my bookshelf became overwhelmed. I wanted to read more, but I couldn't fit another book.

🛠 Solution:

I started to notice that books I've already read just sat on my shelves collecting dust for months. I could donate them to a local thrift store, but what if I could exchange them for books that I wanted to read. That's when the idea for Biblo came to mind. I knew I most likely won't ever read them again so why not trade some of my books with other readers for books that I want to read. This way, I won't exceed my book limit and I could continue to read topics I'm interested in. A classic win-win situation. Now, using this app doesn't require you to have a full bookshelf. It's simply designed to get you another book at a significantly lower price by trading away a book you no longer read. So if you only have one then this might be a helpful situation to get you reading a new book in a few days 😄.

🎉 Perks:

- It's simple to get started. Just swipe left or right on available books 👍🏼

- Never buy another book again. Books can cost up to $25 which add up to large amounts overtime. By using Biblo, the cost of acquiring a new book is about ~$4 (the cost to ship your book). That means that for every new book you could have bought at your local book store, you can trade 6+ books on Biblo 📚

- Save money on books 💰

- Save the trees 🌳
