Comment on Show HN: I built an animated 3D bookshelf for ebooks

Comments

I've wanted something like this so that I can have a custom bookshelf behind me in teams calls. I was tempted to make one but had no clue where to find book spine artwork.

Digitizing spines is a lot less labor intensive than bookscanning; getting photos of spines is basically just taking photos of shelves, so maybe just go to the library and spend about 5 minutes taking photos.

Maybe you'd also be interested in the Kindle Flare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDBzQkWeQ5g

I love it!
