Still working away on my book (and library book) recommendations service https://leafle.org

It has if nothing else been very useful for me (it has correctly deduced that I would get something out of borrowing Grief is the Thing With Feathers, the Dispossessed, and Cosmicomics, none of which I would have thought of reading). Plus it has been a fun opportunity to play around with LLMs as an interface and a research and reverse engineering tool, and Jev for non-user facing quality work like banning crap openrouter providers based on their output before putting it in front of a user.

Most recently I’ve been dropping off flyers for it at a few local libraries in my area.

I tried it out nd it looks nice!. It’s a great way to support local libraries and bookshops. I hope you have a ton of success!
