As mentioned in the App Tour (Session 1, Lecture 1), I had higher expectations for this project. However, upon completing it, I felt that the project was incomplete. Here are a few points I noticed: Missing Search Functionality: There is no search feature in the app. No Publish/Unpublish Status: When adding a book, there’s no option to set the status as "published" or "unpublished." UI for Author’s Books: No UI that allows us to view an author's books and perform actions like edit, update, and delete, there’s an important missing feature. Unpublish or Delete Purchased Books: As you explained in the App Tour, if an author wants to delete a book or unpublish it (particularly if the book has already been purchased by a user), the app should handle this case by displaying an error message such as "This book has already been purchased by someone" or "Your content doesn’t support this feature." I was expecting this functionality to be Explained and implemented. As an additional note (which wasn’t promised in the App Tour), I think using React Query for API fetching instead of just useEffect and useState would have been a great improvement. That said, I have learned a lot from this course, such as using AWS S3 and integrating an EPUB reader (which you won’t easily find outside of this course). Niraj does a great job explaining each concept in a way that’s easy to follow, even for beginners. However, aside from the EPUB reader, I felt like the course was more basic than showed in the App tour lecture.
