TODOs

Here are some areas where you can contribute:

1. Full Support for Magazines: Currently, the support for magazines is partial. We need to add more features to fully support magazines in our library management system.

2. UI Beautification: The current UI of the app is functional but could use some improvements. If you have a knack for UI/UX, your contributions would be highly appreciated.

3. Improve Search Function: The search function works but it could be more efficient and smart. We need to implement a more robust search algorithm that can handle complex queries and return results faster.

Remember to follow the project's code style and write tests for any new features or changes.
