>It was trivial to know when you had to return a book. Is this done differently in Germany?

It should be. The due dates are all listed on the webpage

And some libraries even send reminder emails before the due date

But that is how they got me. I got used to their reminder mails, and then - "Our mail server had a failure and now you have to pay 60€"

>I like the app but I believe people won't buy/subscribe to an app that helps you only if you forget to return a book in time. Most people will believe they will return it in time and won't invest in this type of "insurance".

I wish someone had told me that before I wrote it

But there is also the secondary feature of keeping a record of read books. I read a lot of incomplete series before I had it, and now I want to read the rest of the series, but I do not remember what the series was.

>You could/should look whether university/free libraries are interested.

They are the worst. They have much less patrons than public libraries, and almost never answer emails. I think I might have gotten email PTSD from them.

>Hope you enjoy working on it.

I enjoyed it 13 years ago. But not anymore.
