Congrats on the launch, team! I’ve been using Hardcover for a while now as a way to recommend books to my friends and newsletter subscribers. It’s a great product and has been growing by absolute leaps and bounds!

@patilganesh1010 thanks! We just redesigned the homepage 2 days ago. 😅 it was a bit of a risk, but I think it ended up awesome. It helps its in Next.js, so we can make it as dynamic as we want.

@derkolstad thanks Derek! I wasn’t much of a reader myself until my mid 20s. For me it was audiobooks that were the gateway.

I'm in love with the UI of this website, what a great discovery! The interface is so easy to use, I can't wait to read more books to add them to my library 👀

@lou_attal Yay, thanks! I just added "The Productivity Project" to my reading list which you mentioned. Hardcover says I'll rate about 4⭐ and it's right up my alley.

I've been following the development of Hardcover for the past two years. I'm impressed by the Hardcover teams' commitment to its mission-driven approach. The fact that the actively seeks feedback shows their dedication to making the platform the best it can be. It's clear they genuinely care about the reading community and want to create a space where readers can all flourish. While it's just a small part of the site, one fun feature I've really enjoyed is Bookle, a Wordle-like game where you get 6 guesses to figure out a pixelated book cover. I'm also really excited about the Recommendations page and match scoring. Kudos to the founders for bringing Hardcover to life, and I can't wait to see where this wonderful project goes!

@ajlillie Aww, thanks so much for the kind words and being a part of the journey so far. 😊 We're planning to integrate Bookle more into the site! I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. Even though I set the answers, I try to forget and play along too. 😂 Maybe we should get some guests to choose the answers. 🤔

Hope you win today 👏
