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

Comments

This is great, really really like the sticky feature of weekly/monthly/yearly digests.

I get most of my book recs from HN comments. Usually they are non-technical, anything from Michael Mauboussin to the Secret Life of Groceries. I would appreciate a simple "coreHN / not-coreHN" switch. (CoreHN would be books about startups, technologies, etc. I prefer the diverse topics, which are often buried in HN).

Also curious - are you parsing comments to identify books, or just submissions?

Yep - parsing comments and submissions.

I like the coreHN / non-coreHN idea. The search page [0] has links to categories that can allow you to dig into the different categories of book recs a bit but you still need to parse out which categories are core vs non-core.
