Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m Sukriti, a Solution Architect, developer, and avid book collector. I’m incredibly excited to introduce you all to TBRly!

Like many book lovers, I have over 100 books sitting on my shelves. Yet every weekend, I’d find myself staring blankly at them for 20 minutes, completely paralyzed by choice. As a developer, when you face an annoying, repetitive real-world optimization problem, you don't live with it—you build a system to fix it. 🛠️

That’s why I built TBRly. It’s an AI-powered curation engine designed to completely eliminate book decision paralysis and data-entry dread.

What makes TBRly different from a raw text prompt or spreadsheet tracking?

  • The Spatial Moat (Bookshelf Scanner): No manual typing. Snap a single photo of your physical shelf—our backend parses the book spines using Gemini 2.5 Pro vision models and asynchronously hydrates rich covers and metadata.

  • Multilingual Vibe Prompts: Human emotion doesn't always live in rigid English keywords. You can type abstract moods in regional languages (like Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, etc.), and the engine accurately catches the semantic intent.

  • Gamified Decoupled State: We built an interactive Arena Tournament Bracket to let your books go head-to-head, backed by strict Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to keep your library state persistent and secure.
