CLUSTER WEB-BOOKS-PREFERENCES · 26 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-10-10
Book recommendation web apps
This cluster consists of web apps that recommend books based on user preferences, genre interests, and reading history. Dated entries are sparse, with single monthly entries scattered across 2025-04, 2025-07, 2025-09, 2025-11, 2025-12, 2026-06, and 2026-07, showing no clear trend. Traction leaders are bookward, pagesense, and shelf-talk, all with 0 stars, indicating negligible user engagement. The cluster's dated history is too thin to discern a reliable shape, and many members lack source dates.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
