Online bookshop

Folio Hall

A bookshop that sells online the way it sells in person: by recommendation.
THE PROBLEM
Bookshops sell by recommendation. Most bookshop websites sell by search, like a warehouse catalogue.
THE IDEA
Every book is shelved by a person, with a short note on why it is worth reading.
WHAT IT DOES
Staff-pick shelves
Each shelf belongs to a bookseller, with a note on every book.
Browse by mood
"Something short", "for a long flight", as well as by author and subject.
Events and signed copies
Readings and launches, booked in a few taps.
Basket and checkout
Card payments, in test mode for the demo.
No-code admin
The shop adds books and notes between customers.
Made for thumbs
Shelves swipe, and the basket stays one tap away.
