Thanks for the hunt, @ryandawidjan!
This project started as a Saturday afternoon experiment. I was tired of scouring blog posts to find a good book to read and decided to see if I could build a recommendation tool using freely available api's. I hope you all find it useful!
Happy to answer any questions, and all feedback / suggestions are warmly welcomed.
@mjmarto I'm curious, how you came up with the algorithm.
The recommendations were spot on. It even included at least one book I never heard of.
Very Dope🚬🚬
@dredurr Thank you!
I got creative and daisy chained a few apis. I use the amazon catalogue to do most of the heavy lifting (as theirs is by far the largest that I've found). The code could probably be more elegant if I had access to the data first hand but it seems to work ok as is.
I'm trying to add category / filtered search but that's proving much hard…See more
