Ridabook — Trade Books with People Near You

Got books sitting on your shelf collecting dust? Ridabook connects you with nearby readers to swap books you've finished for ones you've been wanting to read. No money changes hands — just two people trading stories they love.

How it works:

1. Build your library — Add books by searching or scanning barcodes with your camera. Point, scan, done. Add your entire shelf in minutes.
2. Explore nearby — Swipe through books available from readers in your area. See the cover, condition, and how far away each book is.
3. Match and trade — When you both like each other's books, it's a match! Chat in the app, pick your trade pairs, and arrange a meetup to swap.

Features:

- Barcode scanner — Scan book barcodes to add books instantly. The fastest way to build your library.
- Location-based discovery — Find books available near you. See distance to every listing.
- Smart matching — Get matched with readers who share your taste. See your reading compatibility score.
- In-app chat — Message your matches to arrange safe, public meetups.
