libyrint is a simple map system for locating items on book shelves organized by different kinds of classification and shelving schemes. Made with Javascript using Vue and LeafletJS, and a small PHP-based API for map storage.

Why yet another map system? We had the following goals in mind for this:

• maps with integrated shelf navigation
• support for ordering by any kind of classification or shelving scheme, not just Dewey and UDC.
• should use data in a simple JSON format
• should work well on mobile
• should be possible to embed
• should have a not-too-horrible editing experience

Libyrint consists of four modules:

• api: Provides a simple API to a storage for JSON map data and images. Goal: This module should do as little as possible, so that it can be swapped with a different API/storage if needed. We currently use PHP and SQLite3 for the storage API.

• client: The user-facing client app. Reads data from the api.

• editor: Back-office editing app for maps. Reads and writes data to the api.

• shelvingschemes: Back-office editor for classification and shelving schemes.
