Khair-Jalees
(2021) Nassar, Amin; Abd Alhaq, Hasan
While reading is a very important habit to obtain, it’s not easy to get used to, and virtual book clubs apps are evolving and trying to help solving this problem. Khair-Jalees is an online virtual reading club that attempts to group different readers and give them the ability to read and discuss books together in a specific time, while it tries to make reading more fun by gamifying the process and adding competitive nature for the application where users try to interact with as many books as they can.It provides book recommendation system to make it easier for a user to find a suitable book to read. Khair-Jalees is built with Flutter UI framework that’s based on Dart programming language. Furthermore, it includes application programming interface (API) made with PHP to support the main application features and manage the database. It uses 2 types of databases, a relational database (MySQL) is used for storing the main data of the application (books, rooms, users) while real-time features like the chat module in a reading room is implemented using firebase messaging service. For notifications and room invitations firebase’s firestore was used. Finally, contentbased recommendation system is built using Python with Scikit-Learn. The project went through the entire development process from building database and designing UI using Adobe XD to the real implementation.
