civarium VS learn

I love this thread idea - I'm much more excited by people's passion projects than their money making ones.

I seem to collect passion projects like nobody's business - honestly I think I get excited by concepts then bogged down in the details, but I'm starting to overcome this and get deeper into projects now so let's give this a whirl:

- vivarium, a game AI desk-toy where little villagers go about their lives and expand the village themselves (think Banished but zero-player) - pretty early days but good fun to occasionally tinker on: https://github.com/ajeffrey/civarium

- my main fun project at the moment is a private branch off of the above - I'm trying to make a really systemic game where you're a mage apprentice trying to solve quests without violence. Not public yet but will be if I get to the point where the first demo quest is fully playable.

I don't have a way to find and curate audiobooks. Plus, LibGen books are already available on IPFS so all I need is collect links. I have been running https://learnawesome.org/ so books seemed far more approachable.

Fantastic! I'll have a deeper look and see if there's any opportunities for integrating this into https://learnawesome.org (which is also open-source).

I am building https://learnawesome.org

It's an attempt to organize world's knowledge. Right now, it looks like GoodReads-like social network for learning resources organized by topics, formats, difficulty levels etc. But there's a knowledge-graph that separates ideas and the medium those ideas are expressed in. For eg: "Sapiens - the book" and "TED Talk given by Yuval Harari" are connected to the same node.

This idea isn't anything new. Here is Danny Hillis talking about it at OSCON 2012: https://youtu.be/wKcZ8ozCah0

https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn for example

Perhaps https://learnawesome.org/.

I have been dealing with the same problem for curating resources at https://learnawesome.org. Projects like Openlibrary do collect unique identifiers for _books_, but for everything else, it mostly takes manual effort. For example, I collect talks/podcasts by the author where they discuss ideas from their books. Then there are summaries written by others.

This is a fantastic effort! Kudos :-)

I have been collecting learning resources and their reviews by experts at https://learnawesome.org/ (open-source, built with Ruby on Rails and TailwindCSS). Would you be kind enough to share the raw JSON files for their books?

LearnAwesome has its own topic taxonomy so it will still require tagging topics manually, but it can save me some effort on scraping/parsing LSE/Nature sites.

I have been adding a number of these free books at https://learnawesome.org/

Do you really care about the format being PDF or is it about the books being FREE? I'd like to make common queries like yours easier. LearnAwesome is open-source, so of course you're free to contribute: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn
