BookBlaze is a web application that allows users to explore book summaries and notes before purchasing. It helps readers make informed decisions by quickly understanding whether a book fits their needs—saving both time and money.
The Problem
Many readers buy books without fully knowing whether the content aligns with their learning goals or interests. Existing platforms often provide limited previews or overwhelming information, making it difficult for users to decide confidently before purchasing.
As a result, readers waste money on books that don’t deliver what they expect—and end up with shelves full of regret.
The Solution
BookBlaze addresses this problem by offering clear, concise summaries and notes that users can read before buying a book. The platform focuses on simplicity and usability, allowing readers to quickly grasp the core ideas of a book and decide whether it’s worth their investment.
In short: fewer bad purchases, more informed readers.
Design Process
The entire UI/UX was designed in Figma, with a strong focus on readability, clarity, and minimal distractions. The goal was to make summaries easily accessible and ensure users could find useful information in just a few clicks.
