spreadsheet-importer VS learn

Thanks!

I agree with you. My goal isn't to actually make it a closed system like this. I ultimately want to make it as easy as possible for you ppl to get content in and out of the tool.

Lurnby doesn't have the NICEST reading experience possible. It's better in some aspects, but struggles in others. The plan was always to figure out how to allow people to read wherever they are comfortable and still make use of the tool to facilitate memory and retention.

First step is to decouple highlights from in-app articles, and allow them to be linked to external sources instead.

Then it's just a matter of importing them into Lurnby. I actually set the foundation for that already with another script I wrote recently. https://github.com/Roznoshchik/spreadsheet-importer

This would also allow the web extensions to be more useful and allow sending just highlights instead of articles.

My goal is to make it flexible to integrate with any existing workflow, but also be self sufficient for people who don't use any existing tools.

But it's a long road to get there.

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

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
