Sharing your favorite books has never been easier. What Athenaeum brings to the table is the ability to login and create a repository of your favorite books, you will be able to share your favorite books with other users on the platform, and find users who are into similar books as yourself. You'll be able to see trending books so you can always stay up-to date with what books might be enjoyable for you to read based on your likes. Athenaeum will implement a minimalistic design to allow for functional UI design choices.

Our front-end is driven through React. React allows for improved productivity, and is kept up-to-date. It is SEO friendly allowing for a lot more scalable options. React-Native is also available for mobile if it is decided that we decide to make it more mobile.

Our backend is driven through Go. Go is a language that is fast, easy to use, contains static typing, interface types, a standard library. Extremely good testing support is also a big driving factor to ensure that our code is working as intended. On top of using go, we will be more specifically using Gin. This allows for much faster http routing.

We will be using Docker. Docker will allow us to create necessary containers, figure out deployment and run-time issues. It includes encapsulation, isolation, portability and control. They have their own built-in mechanisms for versioning and component reuse.

Semantic UI will be used as our CSS Framework. It allows for theme, a slew of icons, and various other CSS needs.
