Hi Lior, It looks promising! I don't have a Facebook account, so I'll give it a try as soon as it supports other ways to authenticate. Is this open source? Wondering if we could integrate it with Goodreads so it can automatically create list per leader/etc. Cheers, Raúl

@_raulb_ Thank you Raúl We do hope to introduce others ways to authenticate in the future It's not open sourced, but we will consider some integration with Goodreads in the future (I think many BookAuthority readers use Goodreads).

Great product! @benln @liorgrossman I'm super curious about your business model. Obviously your amazon links are affiliated but wondered if you split a cut of the profits with the leaders that you select? I was looking into a similar model on something unrelated there so would love to hear how that works if you'd care to share.

@benln @jasondainter Thank you very much. Indeed, the business model is we get commission on the links to Amazon. Fairly simple. We don't have any revenue share mechanism in place, so unfortunately I don't know if such a model would work.

Great job @liorgrossman! Assuming you can pick up Goodreads lists posted to FB? Or planning to? Would be great to grab the ratings etc. too - it's tough now to go back and remember how you felt about the book when you finished it.

Not a bad idea, but they have facebook pages already like this https://www.facebook.com/markzuc... and this: https://www.facebook.com/ossbook...

Out of the 37 people listed on the page, 3 are women. I'd love to see more women listed as influencers for your recommendations. Otherwise, looking forward to checking out the service.

@besublime Thank you Cory, that's spot-on. We actually have over 20 women influencers on BookAuthority (what you see in the homepage a very partial sample), but it's still not enough and we need to gather more recommendations from women influencers.

@besublime BTW, we've already updated our homepage to reflect that. But as I said, we still have work to do.

@liorgrossman Awesome, glad you’re aware and working on it! (I figured you might be.) Thanks for responding!

Hey guys, are you going to implement a search tool at some point to allow us to look up for a specific book to add to our list for instance? Good product anyway, kudos! :)

Omg, this is such a great idea! I still have a few books on my list but I'll be sure to check out some of the recommendations!

@drayinvesting Thanks James! To make it easy for you to save books you want to read in the future, we added a "Want To Read" button next to any book. Later, you can reach your reading list through the user menu (top-right corner).
