Good point, I forgot about affiliate links. > Legally, you can probably use the Google Books API for a project like this (whereas I couldn't due to their rules). Or, you could also use Open Library since you don't need great data quality, only the title and author to get this running. For me it was some of the other quality issues that made it not worth my time back then. I think, UX wise I'd be in a similar position to you, since 1.) I'd need a short description of the book as well, and 2.) definitely in german, too. So, I'd probably have to create a lot of data myself. > Not a good one: https://forauthors.shepherd.com/roadmap https://forauthors.shepherd.com/roadmap > Improve the accuracy of our genre / topic system (as of right now, it is not doing well). And I am working to add themes and tropes into he mix. I think, that's a good focus. Good quality structured data is quite good to have. > Add a monthly "fav read of month" program for readers. I'd definitely use this. Are you planning on adding a lot more interactivity/"blogging" features on the reader side? It'll be interesting to see the development in the next year, big plans! I'll definitely keep an eye on the site.
