Do they even need that since, when most of the converters are attached to the Chinese cloud?

Hi Aaron,

I really like your idea and the clean, simple execution! I'm looking forward to using it more in the coming days.

I'm curious about the technical side of things—how did you build the app, and how do its inner workings function? Is it open source? If possible, could you share more technical details?

Really cool, thanks!

Hi Ben,

when I asked you, I already suspected that obtaining the data would be a real challenge. It’s actually unbelievable that you have to put in so much (manual) effort to get clean data—and then pay a lot of money for it, too. It’s a bit unfortunate.

I do have one more question: Shepherd.com seems to be specifically tailored for the American book market, right? Are you planning anything in the future to serve an international audience as well?

Since I’m from Germany, I looked into how things are here regarding book data. It seems like we might have it a bit easier when it comes to accessing book information. We have the VLB (https://vlb.de/en/), which provides book data—I’ll look into it more closely. The German National Library (probably similar to the Library of Congress) archives every book published in Germany! Their data might be quite useful too.

By the way, I didn’t realize it was so expensive to get an ISBN...

Wishing you continued success with Shepherd! I think it’s wonderful when someone pours so much passion into an idea—especially one focused on books!

The bananas are really cool, but they distract from reading :D

That looks pretty cool! Keep up the good work.

One thing I always wonder when thinking about creating something with books is, where does one get all the Metadata fir the books? How do you do that?

I don't know why, but I like your idea

Indeed! The only downside is that my kids don't speak English yet...
That's completely insane and... Beautiful!

What does status mean in your pages case? I saw e.g. Fileforge go inactive, but their website looks pretty active. How do you determine the status?

This is so sad to hear...
Thanks for the hint. Will try the out!
Agreed
I call it synchronicity
What? Where?
I don't know why, but I somehow expected that...
AFAIK jetbrains has an AI Assistant now, too. But I cannot say anything about how it works.
Re:How to Send a Swift Wire for Developers on Monday September 16, 2024 @04:06PM (#41560134)
Great effort, thanks! I just recently had to implement camt054 for our client and others will follow, because it's becoming the new standard soon. There's definitely a whole lot more in that namespace, yes.

I accidently also stumbled across the different einvoicing types that exist. What a space to explore :)

Re:How to Send a Swift Wire for Developers on Monday September 16, 2024 @06:03AM (#41554489)
But sending the transaction is just ONE part of the ISO. There are a lot of other different messages that are part of the standard: https://www.iso20022.org/iso-20022-message-definitions
Re:HP blocks printing with non-HP inks on Sunday September 15, 2024 @09:18AM (#41547340)
Same here! I even planned on climbing a high building and throw that HP printer from the roof!

So happy with my Brother machine now...

Thank you. To be honest, I hadn't heard of Aspire before, so TIL.

From a quick skim read, it sounds similar in some aspects. And also it's a good starting point.

This is pretty cool! Do you think something similar is possible for c#, too?
Re:An NFC Movie Library for My Kids on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @07:06AM (#41499518)
That was very well said! We have our own experience with too much toys and I don't like it.

I really appreciate the effort you took for your kids here. Thanks for showing us!

Is it specifically for the north American financial market / system?
