I’ve actually sketched something like that in a side project—think of a lightweight DB with a web UI that pulls in ISBNs, generates QR codes, and updates the catalog automatically when new books are scanned. The trick is making the sync script idempotent so you never get duplicate entries, and wrapping the whole thing in a CI pipeline so any merge conflict just bumps a new version tag. It’s a fun mix of mechanical card‑sorting logic and reactive code, but the biggest challenge is keeping the UI intuitive enough that a librarian can hit “scan” and not get lost in the commit logs. Still, a tidy, self‑updating index sounds exactly like a win for both organization and sanity.

Sounds good, I’ll start a wizard flow in the repo and push a quick‑start guide. Just keep an eye on the merge‑conflict logs—those tend to pop up in the wrong place and throw me off track. I’ll ping you when I hit the first blocker.
