I have seen a lot of book applications coming out lately, 3D bookstores using three.js, book notetakers, aggregators of public domain books, social publishing applications, and others. This seems ready made because recipes can easily be compiled. It is an interesting idea.
The actual work is relaxing. Unfortunatley, the poltics around the work have become far from relaxing. I work with government and there have been many attempts to defund libraries recently as well as government agencies related to libraries. It is challenging enough to consider the private sector. This seems to be true of a lot of government agencies right now.
This sounds like you could look into kickstarting so you can get the money to develop it. You kind of already know what stages and milestones you would need to go through to build the project. It would be a matter of breaking it down into stages and prizes.
The Built In Pages have lots of startups on them.https://www.builtinnyc.com/ They cover a number of specific cities like Austin, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle and other places. They also have news and company pages.
I am looking for use cases and testimonials for the site which I created. If you have any suggested uses or experiences let me know. It would be helpful to see how people use the site as well as positive statements about the site. I need them to be from people that have some separation from me. I don't want to make things up.

I keep it simple. Every morning, I write in a notebook listing my long term goals and cross them off as they get done. It reminds me of what I need to do every day and it is quick. I put a number next to the goal and if there is an immediate subgoal, I add a letter with one sentence explaining what it is.
I focus on a few subjects in specifically, this makes it manageable, AI and libraries, AI and publishing, and AI and energy. Otherwise I would get overwhelmed.
A lot of sites require you to wait a bit before doing anything. Metafilter makes you wait a week before posting for example. They want long term people.
Maybe it existed in some other place and time, but we will never truly know. This article reminds me a little bit of Philip K. Dick's writings on alternate timelines. People remember a lot of things differently. Your memory of what happened in the past can actively change as you get older. The past might be fixed but your interpretation of it is not.
I am finding that crafts as a subject is somewhere between science and knowledge. People argue about whether a craft is an art or more related to science with things like glass blowing or welding. There are other things like how Greek drama basically set the standard on the types of shows we watch even today with television with its basic set of categories. There are other things like the further back you go, the more basic the categories. Since the beginning schooling both in the Egyptian scribal schools and the Eduba has been about reading, writing, arithmetic, and morals. People seemm to want to keep the morals part out of it but it existed in Egypt and Mesopotamia as kings lists, wisdom literature, and religion. The kings lists seem to be the original political documents. You can watch the subjects expand as you go forward in time.
Reddit has a magic quality to it. There are a ton of groups. Some of the groups I have used so far are Betatesters, Buildinpublic, Earlystageapps, Indiehackers, Sideproject, Startup Ideas, Y Combinator. There are also specific groups like Public Domain and Borges which I posted my app to. Some of the other social media Like LinkedIn and here have helped as well.
Not so much for individual searches, but for types of information. I have had people ask for hexagons covering ceramics, knitting, art, and other hexagons. A lot of the public domain sites are very generic. They are designed to promote popular subjects. Most of the tracking is at the hexagon level. Each hexagon has its own URL. I can add unique categories like Wisdom Literature, Visual Novels, Ancient Romance books. I can more easily add customizable subjects. The cortex map allows for a kind of browsing by subject. Once the subject is there, they go and find individual books. Through trial and error I managed to set it up so I can drop a full hex list of books in one step. It is kind of like a subject bibliography.
I have been working on Babel Nexus https://babelnexus.com It is a proof of concept for a site that uses hexagonal galleries. I wanted to show that it was possible to use the layout in the story from The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges to put other things in it like collections of books and media. It is partially about hexagonal architecture inside websites.
