Awesome site! Verrrry useful for SOers and HNers.
I dont know if there is an API for it or not but if you can get the Amazon rating of a book and display it on the book description page, it will be great. :)
- thibaut_barrere 16y agoThanks! On AZ ratings: I wrote that down. It's somewhat complicated because Amazon just made it a bit harder to embed that. It now has to be an iframe; the iframe url must be refreshed every 24 hours. But overall this should be doable to, I'll see if I can make it usable. Thank you!
- quan 16y agoI found AZ ratings to be mostly useless, what would be better is the total number HN/SO points accumulated from all the recommendations for that book. edit: not a mix, but separate points for each community
- thibaut_barrere 16y agoMmm - a kind of book karma. Something like mixing the karma of the commenter with the heatness of the discussion etc ? I think being able to filter on SO vs HN would definitely give different results, too. The topics are sometimes fairly different on both sites.
