There are a lot of other HN-ish sites. Usually with post like this everybody mentions t hem. Here's a top-level comment to put them under.
Shameless plug for my own site: http://hn-books.com http://hn-books.com
On mine, if you pick a book, say "Four Steps To The Epiphany", you get a review, a video, and about half-way down in a tabbed box called "the buzz", an up-to-date synopsis of what hackers think about the book from all the major sites. http://www.hn-books.com/Books/The-Four-Steps-To-The-Epiphany.htm http://www.hn-books.com/Books/The-Four-Steps-To-The-Epiphany...
Bunch of other sites with similar (and sometimes better) features. I wanted to collect a list, but never got around to it.
- raimonds 14y agoGreat work with HN-Books!
- Udo 14y agoThe "questions" widget is broken. For example, on the Four Steps page there are three links, all ending in 404 like this one: http://hn-books.com/v1Main.htm#Q=1&Q2=1 http://hn-books.com/v1Main.htm#Q=1&Q2=1
- DanielBMarkham 14y agoI'll be danged. They sure don't do they? The whole website is static, a templating engine which runs in f# on mono generates it. I haven't rebuilt the side in, gosh, a year? Two? Looks like I had some bad data. Thanks for the heads-up. Note that you can still use the "AnswerQuestions" page to create your own book lists and share them. So, for instance, if I wanted to give you my top 3 books for smart people, I could link like this: http://www.hn-books.com#B0=29&B1=161&B2=133&BC=3&E0=1&EC=1&FC=0&QC=0&Name=Daniel http://www.hn-books.com#B0=29&B1=161&B2=133&BC=3... So the home page is working. Must be something else. Thanks again.
- Udo 14y agoAnytime :)
