Dedications (dedications.fyi)
2 points by ItalianPoetry 529 days ago
Gratitude is perhaps my favorite virtue (which doesn't mean I'm good at it...), and dedications in books are an interesting and pithy way to exercise it.

I noticed in the past that many Math books sported unusual, weird dedications. So, bored in these past holidays and grateful for the warm reception of my previous submission [0], I decided to collect some of my favorites (plus researching more while at it) and put them up somewhere (and, given the occasion, to try out Zola [1]).

The one I like most is [2], with its awed optimism at the state of "our world today" (in the 1960s).

It's all very rough: please forgive the low-effort design.

Questions:

- Do you have more dedications that I could add? - Do you think I should put the code on GitHub and just accept pull requests? - Ideas for the UI are of course welcome, assuming it would be worth the time to work on something like this.
