- unimpressive 13y agoThere's enough material on the web at this point that a list of other peoples lists and personal collections probably has more value on average than a news aggregator. The strategy this implies is going a further level up, which implies going a further level up, etc etc. EDIT: I changed my mind, but don't feel like going into detail here. The problem with these lists is that there's a lot of repetition. If everybody would list their books in the same format you could get rid of the repeats and leave only the books that have been recommended by a HN member. Bonus if you can put the descriptions into a structured format as well.
- no7hing 13y agoI agree that it would be nice to have this nested (meta-)lists on a service that would treat them as sets, merge them together and as a cherry on top would show you the overlaps.
- pasbesoin 13y agoJust to note, the OP linked at Computer Science: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1636275 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1636275 Is dead and robots.txt kept it out of archive.org . Of course, the HN discussion is still, if not primarily, worth the reference.
