This is a submission for the AMAZON Q DEVELOPER "QUACK THE CODE CHALLENGE": Crushing the Command Line
📘 WHAT I BUILT:
I created a Mood-Based Book Recommendation System that suggests books tailored to the user's current emotional state. The system combines collaborative filtering and content-based filtering techniques, enhanced with mood selection to deliver more emotionally relevant and personalized book recommendations.
⚙ KEY FEATURES:
😊Mood-Based Recommendations: Get personalized book recommendations based on 7 different moods
🖥️Interactive UI: Colorful, user-friendly interface with visual feedback and animations
💾Save Favorites: Save books you're interested in for later reference
⭐Rate Books: Rate your saved books on a 5-star scale
Local Storage: Your saved books and ratings are stored in your browser
📥📤Data Export/Import: Easily backup and restore your saved books
📱Responsive Design: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
🖥️ LIVE DEMO:
👉TRY BOOK RECOMMENDER
--This version runs directly in your browser with no installation required!
DEMO:
Book Database:
The system includes 35 books (5 for each mood) covering various genres:
- Fiction and fantasy
- Non-fiction and memoirs
- Science and philosophy
- Adventure and travel
- Self-help and personal development
Technical Details:
Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+)
Storage: Browser Local Storage API
Design: Responsive design with CSS Grid and Flexbox
Fonts: Google Fonts (Roboto)
Customization:
Developers can easily extend the book database by modifying the books Database object in script.js. Each book requires:
- Title
- Author
- Description
🛠️ How I Used Amazon Q Developer Tool:
As a student building this book recommendation system, I used Amazon Q Developer to boost my productivity and streamline my development process. It helped me:
Understand unfamiliar code snippets quickly
Generate boilerplate code and function suggestions
Debug issues with smart, context-aware guidance
Ask real-time questions within my IDE without switching tools
Amazon Q acted like a coding mentor, especially helpful when I hit roadblocks or needed to accelerate certain parts of my workflow.
💬 Final Thoughts:
As a student, building this project was a great learning experience in both recommendation systems and practical tool usage. Integrating mood-based logic with collaborative and content-based filtering taught me how to blend user experience with data science fundamentals. Using Amazon Q Developer made the development journey smoother and more insightful.
I'm excited to keep improving this system and explore how AI tools can assist developers—especially learners like me—throughout the building process.
