Cache the book metadata locally

[SanQH]

Once a book is added, it would be best to cache the information and cover locally, maybe with a button to trigger a refresh or an edit button to allow filling the metadata like author, description and cover manually.

This would make the front end more performant and avoid hitting archive.org and openlibrary.org for the same data multiple times.

Hi @SanQH,
Thank you for submitting this feature request. I do agree, more caching would be beneficial for the performance.
A related feature that would impact this one is #58 as that would move the search logic from the frontend to the backend, allowing us to cache much more aggresively towards OpenLibrary and then the frontend can be changed to also cache more.

Manually adding or changing metadata is in the works, more information can be found in issue #44

The search route has been moved to the backend and is now caching the OpenLibrary requests.
This has been released with v1.9.0 🎉
