When a book is borrowed through the website, the borrowed item gets a busy=true
flag, which makes it appear with a reduced opacity and an "unavailable" title is displayed on mouse hover:
It could make sense to give a way for the owner to turn on that flag manually to indicate that it is not available, due to some action outside of the website.
So most of us I guess have books that we’ve lent to people.
It would be great to have a way to mark this status for books in our inventories.
In the simplest form without overthinking it, I’m imagining just a new entry in “Transaction mode”/“Availability”:
In my inventory
/Giving
/Selling
/Lending
/Lent
. The idea being that this status option is already there so it could be used for that too, and a lent book cannot be given or lent or sold at the moment anyway.Or it would be an extra status field.
It also seems that Inventory already have a lending system between users, which is great, but this is about marking books as lent to people that are not on Inventory. But if that makes it more logical, maybe this “
Lent
” status would also be integrated/consistent with the way it’s done when lending to another user (I have no idea how that looks like).Next up: “
Lost
” status xD
