Show HN: Goodreads Analyzer – AI roast and book recs from your reading history

https://goodreads-analyst.vercel.app/
1•DoingSomeThings•1mo ago
Inspired by the HN Wrapped Roast (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46336104), I built a web app that analyzes your Goodreads library and generates a literary roast, personality profile, and book recommendations.

Upload your Goodreads export CSV and get:

- Reading stats

- A roast of your reading choices

- Inferred personality traits

- Year-by-year thematic analysis

- Personalized book recommendations

Uses Gemini API for analysis. Book data stays in browser (localStorage), only titles/reviews/dates sent for insights. Demo mode available if you want to try it without uploading your own data.

This started as an experiment in prompt engineering and pattern recognition. I was curious how much personality insight you could extract from reading patterns alone.

The results were surprisingly accurate. It correctly inferred my shifts in physical location, political beliefs, and religious affiliation based purely on reading history.

Would love feedback on the analysis accuracy or additions that would make this more fun to use.

A few personal examples from my 400 book history:

Reader Summary: You are a walking existential crisis who oscillates between trying to save your soul with 13th-century Catholic theology and escaping reality via magic-system spreadsheets. Your reading list is essentially a debate between a Trappist monk and a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, and somehow, they're both currently losing to a talking cat in a death dungeon.

Information Diet: Your media consumption suggests a high-low split. You balance dense, slow-burn philosophy (Josef Pieper) with high-octane, 'popcorn' entertainment (Dungeon Crawler Carl), intentionally using fiction as an escape from heavy systemic analysis.

Life Arc: Your life trajectory appears to be a journey from 'Enchanted Orthodoxy' to 'Humanistic Meaning. You moved from preparing for the priesthood/ministry to a deconstruction of faith, eventually landing in a space of 'Conscious Leadership' and secular contemplative practice.
