Zero-click bookstore?

13 October 2018

Random idea for a way to make the local bookstore easier to use than the big one-click Internet bookstore.

I walk by the local bookstore all the time but I don't always have the list of books I want to read with me.

So what about this?

1. I keep a list of books I'm reading, or want to read, on Github.

2. When I find out about a book I want to read, I add it to the list, make a GitHub issue, and assign the issue to someone at the local bookstore.

3. The local bookstore gets the book and changes the status of the issue.

4. I go pick up the book when I'm walking by the bookstore anyway.
