- HackerBooks catalogs roughly 16,500 books that at least two different HN commenters brought up, with entries spanning 2007 through the present.
- HackerBooks links every book back to the comments that mentioned it and makes the underlying dataset downloadable from the about page.
Why it matters: HN readers gain a cross-referenced view of books that drew repeat discussion: the roughly 16,500-title catalog requires mentions from at least two commenters and links back to the original comments. The downloadable data also lets users inspect the 2007-to-present recommendation corpus directly, adding a second path beyond the site’s book-to-comment links.
