I'm the developer (Dronopter) behind <strong>Okudum</strong>, a small free Android app I just launched on Google Play.</p> <p>The idea is simple: lots of us have shelves full of books we've already finished. Okudum lets you list those books and request books other readers have finished. There's no buying or selling — the only cost is the cash-on-delivery shipping fee paid by the person who requests the book.</p> <p>To keep things fair it uses a tiny points system:</p> <ul> <li>You start with 2 points</li> <li>Requesting a book costs 1 point</li> <li>Sending a book to someone earns you 1 point</li> </ul> <p>So the more you share, the more you can read. The app is in Turkish and aimed at readers in Turkey for now.</p> <p>If you're curious, search "okudum" on the Play Store or open <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okudum.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okudum.app</a></p> <p>I'd love feedback on the concept, onboarding, or ideas for building trust between strangers who swap books. Thanks for reading!</p> android showdev sideprojects books
