UX
Primary Goals
To create a site where user's can easily write, share and read book reviews and find new books they want to read.
Developer Goals
- To gain experience using Flask and MongoDB to create a full stack site backed by a well designed database.
- To create a site where I will be able to find new good books to read.
User Stories
As a reviewer I want:
- An intuitive way to either register a new account or log into my existing account.
- An intuitive form for writing my review so I can easily write a new review including:
- Star system to score my review out of 5.
- Large text area to write up my review.
- A profile area where I can view the reviews I have written.
- A way to edit the reviews I have written so I can change them if I notice mistakes or change my mind about something.
- A way to delete reviews I no longer want to be on the website.
As a user (looking to buy a book) I want:
- A home page that displays the most recent reviews on the page so I can quickly see some reviews.
- A page where all the reviews are shown so I can see all the reviews.
- A search bar where I can search for reviews for a specific book I want to read.
- An intuitive layout for the page for each review so I can easily gain all the information I need.
- A way to upvote reviews I think were good so that other users can have an idea of which reviews are good.
- A link from each review to purchase the book so that I can easily buy the book if I decide I want to.
