100 Books like Project Hail Mary (https://shepherd.com/books-like/project-hail-mary) : - Travels with Charley : With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. - Invisible Women : Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. then, if you love Andy Weir, you'll love this romance novel: The Duke's Christmas Redemption by Arietta Richmond and then after scrolling through even more book recommendations I'm assuming are just ads: Interested in time loop, philosophy, and time travel? which is weird, because Project Hail Mary wasn't about time loops or time travel. This is why I dislike recommendations on the internet anymore, it's just a cash grab to get some click through profit to amazon. | ||||||||

We are working toward breaking even on costs while still adding new features. All the money we raise goes toward those costs, which are quite lean. I've worked on this project since Dec 2020 for free, plus put a LOT of my own savings into it :) Hope that helps, and I am happy to answer questions, and more on our mission for readers and authors -> https://building.shepherd.com/ The ads on the books-like page are clearly marked, a different color, and they are partly how we fund being alive. If we had ~3,000 members, we could remove them. Currently, we have around 800. | ||||||||

tying this data to a login instead of a pure cookie model like hn seems dangerous. | ||||||||
