Rainbow-Reads is an app where the user can add a LGBTQA+ book, author's name and reason for linking the book. The user has the option to like other books already listed.

Rainbow Reads

Using MongoDB to store books and EJS the user can add a book with an LGBTQA+ theme and like what other users have added.

How It's Made:

Tech used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, EJS, Node.js and MongoDB.

In this project, I used node.js and EJS to access and render HTML. I used MongoDB to store documents of books that the user want to share with the community. This app focuses on representing and supporting LGBTQA+ authors and stories.

Optimizations:

(optional)

Having more time I would love to implement a better UI to display the books and authors name differently and probably add links to buy the book and support the authors.

Lessons Learned:

While working with EJS, I learned how easy is to format JS with HTML since the syntax is similar. I included "liked" as an Update method and a simple UI to scroll through the list of books.
