As many of you will have heard from Jess, she has BIG plans for Your Book Store.

However, after doing lots of research into marketplace businesses, she decided to launch quickly with the Minimum Viable Product (or MVP) to make sure that this was something that would really work, before investing more into it.

This version of Your Book Store is the MVP - it doesn’t have all the features Jess dreams of. By keeping on using the platform and helping us build a community, we will be able to prove that the idea is worthwhile and invest more into it.

Some of the key features we want to build into the platform are:

1. App - we want to make it as easy as possible for you to list and buy books from your phone. We think an app would be great for this.

2. Community features - we’d love to make this platform more integrated with ready built book communities like BookTok and Goodreads. We want you to be able to follow members of Your Book Store that have similar interests and for you to be able to favourite listings.

3. Integration - we’d love to be able to offer you pre-paid delivery options, so you don’t need to think about it! We’d also like to include a barcode scanner that populates the book details for a listing to save you the hassle!

4. Fun stuff - we want to develop a wallet so that you can keep your sale money in Your Book Store ready for you to buy more books for your TBR. We’d also give points for purchases and badges when you reach milestones like selling 10 books.

If you have any further suggestions on what you’d like to see on Your Book Store and how we can continue to make it better - please get in touch at support@yourbookstore.co.uk
