Book-Tracking App

Original prompt

Build an app for keeping track of books.

Chinese translation

构建一个用于追踪书籍的应用。

Expected outcome

Since the prompt does not constrain platform or scope, a reasonable expected outcome is a working personal-library and reading-progress application. At minimum, users should be able to add, view, edit, and delete books and record title, author, and reading status. A fuller implementation may include page progress, start and finish dates, ratings, tags, favorites, search, filters, sorting, statistics, and local persistence. Status transitions must keep data coherent—for example, finishing should set the finish date and final progress, while reopening should resolve conflicting fields. If import/export exists, data should round-trip and avoid silent duplication. The UI should clearly handle an empty library, zero search results, invalid input, and corrupt storage.

Additional verification guidance

• Complete add, view, edit, delete, undo where available, and reload-recovery flows, confirming field values, list order, and persisted state.
• Exercise transitions among want-to-read, reading, paused, finished, and abandoned states, checking current page, total pages, start/finish dates, and progress-log coherence.
• Combine search, filtering, and sorting with case, whitespace, tags, and no-result queries, confirming stable counts and no data loss.
• Validate rating ranges, dates, page bounds, duplicates, corrupt storage, and import/export round trips; verify keyboard and narrow-screen usability.
