Show HN: A new kind of book recommender

5 pointsby kolleraa9 months ago
Books are complicated and so are your preferences. Your specific mood and desire for what to read can change from day to day. Just because you enjoyed certain books doesn&#x27;t mean you want the next one you read to be highly similar to those.<p>Yogurrt, the book recommender I created, is different: You can select specific low-level preferences it generates on the fly. The preferences are generated based on one or more books you provide. Each run is unique.<p>Notes - This is a solo project I made over a couple weeks part time. I learned React while making this and it&#x27;s been awhile since I&#x27;ve done this kind of dev work - I&#x27;ve been a product manager for the past several years. I feel the UI is reasonably usable but unpolished - next time I&#x27;d start with a component framework instead of not doing that :)<p>Please let me know what you think!

The recommendations from this are surprisingly good.
