About
A browsable catalogue of about 16,500 books that at least two different Hacker News commenters mentioned between 2007 and 2026. Each book links back to the comments that mentioned it, and the data can be downloaded from the about page. It counts mentions, so a book praised and a book criticized both score, and book metadata comes from Open Library.
Why it made the leaderboard
A browsable, comment-linked index of books recommended on HN, built almost entirely by an AI coding agent.
