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

When I was looking to fill my bookshelf with technical books last month, I stumbled upon <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernewsbooks.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernewsbooks.com</a>, it helped me find a lot of good programming literature.<p>The websites and Twitter feeds seem similar (and both seem great), was there any specific reason why you created an alternative?

This is great, really really like the sticky feature of weekly&#x2F;monthly&#x2F;yearly digests.<p>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 &quot;coreHN &#x2F; not-coreHN&quot; switch. (CoreHN would be books about startups, technologies, etc. I prefer the diverse topics, which are often buried in HN).<p>Also curious - are you parsing comments to identify books, or just submissions?

I wish you linked out to other retailers as well, besides Amazon. Perhaps something like boook.link would be useful.

Kudos! Loads superfast and well designed. I am curious about how to build a site like this? Could you shed some light on the stack used (frontend&#x2F;backend)? I couldn&#x27;t find anything immediately in the HTML like bundle.js or something similar.

I’m surprised SICP isn’t on the list.

Very nice. How do i sort the results by number of comments, date, etc?
