Ask HN: Would love feedback for my first side project Similar Books
I created a site called Similar Books to help people find books to read. I've never been a huge reader but would like to read more. I find I have no idea what book to read and I didn't want to waste to reading a book I won't enjoy.
The site works by users entering a tv show, movie or game they like and we'll recommends some books. Books have links to Amazon where if a book is purchased we'll take a commission.
So far the biggest issue has been manaully finding content. It's a slow process but hopefully it will slowly grow to be a great resource.

- gus_massa 6y agoDid you write the reviews yourself? Are the images/posters of the movies free to use? I'm afraid you will get a C&D letter soon.
- similarbooksto 6y agoYep, I research and find the recommendations. Images are from the movie db api. Assume they have figured out the legal rights
