I noticed that many websites offering free audiobooks tend to have clunky search functionality, making it harder to find what you're looking for. To address this, I’ve created a site that aggregates audiobooks from multiple platforms—complete with book reviews and ratings—making it easier to discover and explore new titles.

At the moment, I've included audiobooks from popular sources like Librivox, Project Gutenberg, and Lit2Go.

I'm open to suggestions on additional free audiobook sources I could integrate into the site to expand the collection!

Congrats on launching :)

I suggest you add a 'detail' view so that:

- each book has its own URL (which can be shared), and

- mobile users can easily see the external links (which are hard to see in a list view on a narrow screen)

Definitely! In this iteration, my focus was on functionality to get the data out there. I can improve the UI to make the filtering system sleeker and more mobile-friendly. Additionally, I plan to create individual pages for the books, where I can include thumbnails and other finer details.
