This is quite interesting! (Former book editor here.) I will totally use this to discover and buy books.<p>I might suggest your &quot;buzzfeed for books&quot; comparison doesn&#x27;t do it justice. Perhaps &quot;Pinterest for books&quot; or &quot;Reddit for books&quot;?<p>As feedback, a few thoughts off the cuff: - I&#x27;m hesitant to auth Twitter, because you ask for permission to post but don&#x27;t do the thing where you promise never to post on my behalf without advance warning. - I think the &quot;shelves&quot; model is interesting. I&#x27;m definitely interested in what David Bowie found interesting. Maybe not so much Art Garfunkel (though IIRC he is an obsessive reader so who knows) - It would be interesting if there was some cut where, for a given book on a given shelf, you could see other popular&#x2F;relevant shelves it was on. Sort of the way Twitter surfaces tweets in your timeline that were liked by a friend. - Maybe a view of just books, not shelves. - I want to see what others had to say about these books, not just whose shelves they&#x27;re on. Maybe that comes later, when you have more activity? - Looks like you can add a book to your reading list, &quot;heart&quot; it, or &quot;heart&quot; a whole shelf. This is a slightly confusing information architecture, vs. something like on Airbnb which has a clear architecture of saving properties you like to a list. Might want to refine that a bit.

Looks pretty interesting. I like the curation a lot better than some others I&#x27;ve seen. Although this may be a function of user base and audience at present. My comparison would be Goodreads, which is so overwhelmed with historical romance, fluff, young-adult sci-fi, and New-Agey self-help that I&#x27;ve yet to see anything on their newsletters that looks remotely appealing to me. People love that stuff, but it&#x27;s not what I&#x27;m looking for.<p>I&#x27;d be curious (at some later date) to know what kind of a return you&#x27;re getting on Amazon affiliate fees. At this point, that&#x27;s the most reliable advertising income stream on my side-projects. It seems to be the best deal going, considering it&#x27;s a pretty minimally invasive kind of advertising, and they actually pay a decent cut on referred sales. And that&#x27;s on a piddly little blog that has some reviews, some code tutorials, and a page where I list some favorite books, as opposed to something like this which is really designed to get people to convert.

Hello HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been working on ShelfJoy for quite sometime now. I&#x27;ve thought of ShelfJoy to be like buzzfeed for books where people can discover curated books on deep niche topics.<p>Curation is guided by algorithms in a few cases but finalised by an editor.<p>Wanted to know your feedback on this. If you think it works for you or not and what can I do to improve it.<p>Thanks in advance.
