DupyBook

Yesterday I spent most of my time working on a new webapp I'm calling DupyBook.

Here's the motivation: Kristen has over 400 kids books that she hopes to use in her classroom someday. When people ask her what she wants for Christmas or her birthday or other gifting occasions, she usually asks for kids book. Now that she has so many, she's starting to have trouble knowing which books to ask for.

As a solution, I offered to make her a website to sort everything out. It has a list of all of the books she already owns, as well as a wish list that holds the books she wants. This way, people can consult the site before buying her a new book. They will know not to purchase a book she already has, and they will be able to search specifically for books she wants.

So far I have the basic functionality implemented. I'd still like to add some search/sort features to the lists, make the database entries editable, and implement a log-in page so only certain users can add/delete entries.
