Show HN: I used my book generator to generate a catalog of books it can generate

Hey HN, Pierre here. I’m the solo creator of EbookForge.

I know the skepticism around AI-generated content (and "slop") is high right now. I share it. But I built this tool because I found that for self-education and structuring ideas, LLMs are actually incredible.

I used EbookForge itself to generate a massive, 150-page catalog containing 1,000+ book concepts. This goes beyond concept: we can then recursively generate those books fully with EbookForge. This is incredible.

Every title in the catalogue is a deep-link! If you click a book idea in the PDF, it recursively opens the EbookForge, pre-loaded via URL parameters, ready to generate anew. (you get a full 30-pages eBook within about 3 minutes)

HOW IT WAS MADE: it is basically turtles, all the way down... This is vibe-coding about vibe-coding, with Grok requests for speed and cost. Grok is amazing when it comes to the dollar. Note: Claude was down so I used Gemini CLI and it turns out it is quite capable also.

I hope you will find it useful. I am biased BUT I think it is amazing! One slop to slop them all...

PS: 3 ebooks for free if you login; if this goes down, you can use your own key client-side. If that goes down too, well then you, have the catalogue. This is the extent of my guarantee. I am not a marketing genius. Let's call it a day!

You can build something like Library of Babel – but for books that make sense.
