Bookspotting app product design
App idea for the Finnish Library.
They wanted something new so I suggested Bookspotting, which was an app where you take pictures of moments when you're reading a book and tag the book buy scanning the ISBN code.
Idea was to make it reading more personal and also give nicer way record the books you read than just "check-in".
