I am trying to expand Booklys library putting every saved book into one “Favorites” list just wasn’t working. Students study for subjects and exams at the same time. First I improved our localStorage structure from a flat array to a dictionary object. This let me include a custom dropdown inside the Book UI Modal where users can make their folders right away (like “Term 1 Finals” or “Weekend Reading”). Lastly I redesigned the Library page swapping the favorites grid for a lively tabbed dashboard. Users can now move through their custom folders easily. To finish I created a migration script so anyone who had books stored in the system had them moved to a default “Favorites” folder without losing any information.
