Another experimental books feature: on the web, click Discover → Books → Book Covers. It’s not a complete list yet, and some covers are missing, but hopefully a nice start to more ways of browsing books people are blogging about.
@manton that's pretty cool and is a great way to find more books to read. How do you determine what books show up in it?
@Dino Currently it will automatically find blog posts in a certain format, with the ISBN linked and the title and author. If you click one of the covers you can see an example. I'd like to make this less strict so that it finds more posts in the future.
@manton very neat. Of course, this immediately has me wanting more. It'd be great if you could click on a cover and see everyone that mentioned it.
@cdevroe Thanks! That's a good next step and definitely possible as we aggregate a little more data.
@manton Features like this are exactly why "just use hashtags" is a bad idea. There are so many approaches to be taken with regard to Discovery and this is one of the good ones. 🙌
@manton this is a really great way to see what books people are writing about on micro.blog. Thanks!
