I updated the app to allow manual add/delete of pages. Then tap the page and do New Image to upload per page. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I have not tried anything other than English, not sure how good the LLMs are for that. Did you use Tesseract or Gemini? Once the page structure is set up from the images (via the directory upload), you can upload new images for each

Those of us "of a certain age" are grateful not to look at a screen of 30 videos, all of them illegible because our eyes are old :)

Depends a bit on what you want to accomplish. I use Jekyll/Minimal Mistakes/Github pages for product blogs, where I just want to broadcast information or have it available for people to find through search, and where I need to own

Love this concept! Implementation seems a bit erratic, e.g. tried it on the Richard I page (Richard the Lionheart), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England and get most random modern dates of research articl

Book Roulette is a Chrome Extension that shows you a new, hopefully interesting, book each time you open a tab. It also shows you a few recent articles from around the web that mention the book. There are a few other Chrome extensions out t

Thanks for passing that along. Spin is actually in the system ( http://www.thehawaiiproject.com/book/Spin--by--Robert-Charle... ) but I think my keyword search ranking approach isn't picking it up in the keyword sea

Thanks. I can reproduce when I set "block sites from setting any data", caused by a 3rd party tool I use. I will have to figure some way to fix it. Thanks for reporting. In the meantime if you want to explore you'll have to t

Whoops. I use a 3rd party tool to manage user data and that requires access to local storage. I'll have to look into engineering that requirement out unless you have a user account. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you this is great feedback. I agree with you the navbar is kind of a mess. I've got a code branch in progress to clean that up substantially. I'm a recovering executive remembering how to code, and my design skills are awful

thanks for notes on design. I suspect the page loading is because my server's getting hammered right now :)

Very much so, like Hype Machine (which I love), with the caveat that THP is personalized, whereas Hype Machine is more one-size-fits-all in terms of the music it recommends, it doesn't really know whether I like EDM or Jazz and act acc

It's around 800 right now - I curate all the source sites by hand at present, to ensure quality. If there's something you think I should add let me know...

Thanks for looking. Because I get book recommendations from the blogosphere, older books don't get found as quickly unless someone is writing about them.... I added in Omnibus - here: http://www.thehawaiiproject.com/boo
