META: Define the app

META: Define the app

Technical characteristics

Right now, we only have a proof of concept. We need to have a better idea of what the app will be and what form it will take. Will it be a webapp? An API consumed by a webapp? What database will it use? How will the authentication work?

• What form? (Webapp? API + Webapp? Smartphone App?)
• What database to use?
• Authentication system?

Functional characteristics

• What need does it satisfy?
• What are the core functionnalities?
• Who's the public? Who is it for?
• What it the minimum viable product?

With these answer, we'll be able to create more issues to guide us through the development of the app and have a better idea of what is to be done.

Right now, requests to the Google Books API are done directly from the API route.

We need something (a class?) to ease the creation of requests. It musts:

• Cover the /volumes endpoint
• Allow for the use of multiple search parameters
• Be easily upgradable to cover more endpoints
