library

Breaking:

• Replaced Typescript/Express API with serverless functions written in Go.
• Switched frontend framework from Preact to SolidJS.
• Altered the database schema:
  • Add an authors collection so that authors are created as their own document and can be shared across multiple books.
  • Use document ids to create many-to-many relationships connecting authors to books and readers to books. These relationships were previously simple strings and connections had to be inferred from these text values.
  • Use the retired property on a book to indicate retired books rather than separating active and retired books into separate collections.
  • Add dateCreated and dateModified properties on all documents.

Added:

• A search bar to narrow down the displayed results on the books/retired pages.
  mobile-specific navigation menu.
• A type-ahead component used to add authors to a book.
• A configuration page (/config) to manage site settings.
• Integrated Terraform configurations to manage deployments.

Changed:

• Switched deployment infrastructure from Firebase to base Google Cloud.
• Refreshed the UI, removing some visual clutter and improving mobile responsiveness.
• Made the reader names and colors configurable.
• Switch the bundler for the frontend from Parcel to Vite.

Fixed:

• Make the stats widget operational on the retired page.

Removed:

• GitHub actions to deploy the project on release.
