Ask HN: How can I improve my engineering book notes website?

10 points by bwh2 ↗ HN
In December I started posting my book notes online at https://www.briansnotes.io/

I know a lot of engineers on HN enjoy reading, so I wanted to ask - how can I make my website more useful to you?

I like the site's design - the cover picture for reach review of you reading the book is clever. As far as the book reviews, I like the summary of the main points, but they seem to lack how you arrived at the N/10 rating.

Thanks, that's good feedback I can act on.

I think the books are generally the usual suspects that get recommended time and time again, it would be great to see you discover some other books that you find great, that the “community” are not typically aware of.

Good idea to call out some of the more unique books.

How about adding some search functionality? First, I was thinking that the "Subscribe" form is the search form.

Good call on subscribe looking like search. I didn't see it until you pointed it out.
