This is awesome. The best thing is that it's so fast to navigate. I like how the HN comments are styled just like on HN.
A couple of thoughts:
* It would be great if each book were to have its own URL (for sharing).
* Consider allowing the search to allow author input, e.g. if I want to find the book 'Who' by Geoff Smart, the single-word title isn't specific enough to show that book at the top of the search results.
- soco 5y agoIf I look for one single word and that single word is the answer, shouldn't that be the very first result? I mean that's a 100% match right there...
- rahimnathwani 5y agoIf the dataset were perfect, maybe. But, if a book with a single-word title has only few comments, it's plausible that most/all of those comments are false matches. In the case of the book I searched 'Who', showing it in 4th position seemed about right.
- tracyhenry 5y agoy the search can definitely be improved (e.g. to include author). Right now it's SELECT * FROM books WHERE name LIKE '%{search_string}%'
