Gratis Books is a free platform to connect students who want to donate their text books to other students in need.
It is a free platform where students can register and list their text books. Students/NGOs in need can claim these books.
The project is in its initial phase for now and basic functionality is being built. Ideally, here's what we should have in v1:
- Ability for students to register Discuss: What data do we need? Email ID and password only? Anything else?
- Ability to enter list of their textbooks. Discuss: What fields do we need here? Book name, publisher, standard, condition, education board...
- Ability to see the list of textbooks and filter according to class, subject, education board, area(?)
- Ability to request the book. Discuss: Need to decide how the claims will be handled. Between someone requesting a book and its assignment by admin/editor, can others request it?
Initial idea is to keep everything simple and not custom code anything to quickly get the platform up. We plan to use CRUD toolset for this.
