Hardcover was featured on TechCrunch yesterday! 🥳
Projects I've worked on for other companies have been featured on there a few times, but this is the first time it's a project that feels like mine.
Very exciting day. 🥂

How have you found using it?

Ever notice how every book on GR has a score between 3.8 and 4.2⭐️? What should that tell you about a book?
Instead, we're working on a useful score, just for you, for every book out there.

If you're curious about machine learning and AI watch "Coded Bias".
One story was of Amazon using machine learning/AI to screen job candidates. The result? It turned down anyone with the word "woman" on their resume. 😠
Those devs could've just improved book recommendations.

One of my absolute favorites things is for startups to share their journey as they're building. I've learned so much by following others' journeys, and want to share ours as well.

💡 Hardcover stats show your influence on others readers. When somebody discovers a book from an action of yours — like a review, list, or in the activity feed — we track that they found that book because of you.

This is a great book because the main character is funny and quirky and very unexpected, but it’s also a really beautiful story about her growth and healing. So it’s entertaining and inspiring all at the same time!

We're getting more books onto hardcover.app each day!(thank you ❤️ folks for importing your books from Goodreads)
Some end up without a cover - but we don't leave any book behind, they all get one of the 5 custom ones we made. Isn't that something?
