Pojok Baca

Digital Library with a Smart Heart

Pojok Baca (Taman Bacaan) is a comprehensive digital library application designed to modernize the reading experience. While it handles core library functions like book discovery, borrowing, and user management, its standout feature is a built-in sentiment analysis engine for book reviews.

Built with a modern Android stack, the app leverages Firebase for real-time data persistence and authentication, ensuring a seamless experience across devices. The goal was to create not just a repository for books, but a community-driven platform where readers can share and understand the collective sentiment of the library's catalog.

Comprehensive Library Management

Real-Time Sentiment Analysis

I engineered a custom keyword-based sentiment classification engine that runs entirely on-device. As users type their reviews, the system provides instantaneous feedback, categorizing their sentiment as Positive, Neutral, or Negative with a calculated confidence score.

My Role & Contribution

As the Lead Android Developer and ML Engineer, I was responsible for the entire technical implementation of the Pojok Baca application. My primary contribution was the design and development of the Sentiment Analysis Engine and the Review Management System.

I focused on creating a highly responsive user interface using Jetpack Compose, ensuring that the machine learning components felt like a natural, invisible part of the user experience. Leading the development phase meant coordinating the database schema in Firestore with the frontend state management, resulting in a production-ready application that balanced performance with intelligent features.
