Awesome, that's what I was going for. I originally made this for my own use and got kind of obsessed with building it out once I started finding unfamiliar books I enjoyed using the semantic search and category browsing. Glad to see it out in the world hopefully doing the same thing!

One thing that would make this information even more useful and searchable would be a JSON dump of your dataset. You could serve it statically on S3 or similar, to keep hosting costs to a minimum.

Of course, having created a cool thing generates no obligation for further work on your part! I'm grateful that you did this work and made it available for free.

Did you build your semantic search index based on the full text of the books, or just the reviews and descriptions?

Already tried to do this in a basic form. Advice from experts would be welcome as it's my first time trying to make data and an API available: https://book-prize-index.vercel.app/data

Also I just had to upgrade my Vercel plan due to traffic, which is very welcome and appreciated, but if anyone wants to donate, that would be really helpful! There's a Stripe link at the site: https://book-prize-index.vercel.app

Donated happily. Long-time book lover and am always looking for my next favorite read.

Thank you for building this!

Oh awesome, you're way ahead of me!

The JSON downloads quickly and had all the info I needed.

Oxymoron. S3 and its clones are one of the most expensive ways to host files.
