See the "awesome lists" projects. This may be a quick way to start your project.

Start now, iterate later.

Hey, what do you mean? To bootstrap data or something else?

When / if I get down to this, I'll likely first finish a minimal sketch website: https://github.com/cirosantilli/free-books-django-raw and then work on the algorithm, then start populating some data.

fulldecent commented 6 years ago

Yeah, just bootstrapping data and using what's out there

cirosantilli commented 6 years ago

OK. One difficulty is that the algorithm I want requires knowing who created each resource.

And then there would need to be a scheme to transfer those into user accounts if they ever come onboard.

And finally, why would people use this secondary data source compared to the original.

If there was a way to scrape this data from any content (as Google did for search), it would be awesome, but the web is not semantic enough :-(

fulldecent commented 6 years ago

Finding good stuff worth reading, that's the important part of the project.

User accounts, scraping, business models, being semantic... that's the less important part :-)
