Comment on Show HN: YaHNd – HN Books: The Best Books of Hacker Newsparent

Comments

I have a lightweight JS server that handles ingestion of HN data and parses book references into a Postgres db.

Do you parse every comment, and then look for book names?

Yes

First - thanks for building this!

I'm curious - how do you detect a book mention if, the first time it's mentioned, there's no link to Amazon? Do you use spaCy for NER and then use an API to check if the entity is a book name?
