Hi everyone! I built MavenSignal because I kept hearing great book recommendations on the podcasts I follow, and I was always losing track of them.
I started with a small script to pull transcripts and extract book mentions, then ended up building a full pipeline around it — LLM parsing, fuzzy matching, dedupe logic, and a “signal score” to track which books come up most often across shows.
This was originally just for my own reading list, but I polished it into a public MVP. I’d love your thoughts on the extraction accuracy, the UI, and the overall idea. Any feedback is very welcome!
