You've reached the end!
Recently I also started a newsletter built on top of Hacker News that curates a weekly roundup of AI links and the discussions around them. I am not sure whether it will be monetized at some point but that is how I started the job board too. It is a side project to keep me occupied during evenings and weekends. The latest issue is here if you are interested: https://eomail4.com/web-version?p=df548fb0-e8b0-11f0-97f9-35...

Building a really unique book recommendation platform to help readers find books they might not otherwise know about. We just started working on a full book app that will be a private book diary, along with recommendations and insights based on your Book DNA. Think Goodreads, but rebuilt for readers who want a private space to track what they read, keep notes, and get truly personalized book recommendations (like Pandora or Spotify for books).

This is a fun one I do with a good friend. Basically, to see if a website is down, or if it is just you, along with reported reasons from the community. We are working to add user accounts so you can create your own custom lists of websites/services to track.

Readers - https://building.shepherd.com/membership-for-readers/
Authors - https://building.shepherd.com/author-membership/
The other 20% is affiliate revenue from book sales across the website, via Amazon and Bookshop.org.
I work for free, so it is still pretty bootstrapped.

No, you are right, that isn't built yet. We are building the full app now. The rough beta is coming at the end of this month for early testers (hit me up at ben@shepherd.com if you want to be on it). It will include the TBR, logging, and search pieces. It won't have website integration yet, but we will keep fixing bugs and adding features. Aiming for a full public launch end of this year, but that is very rough.
