3 months ago Okay accounts and persistence is too much work, needs a database and such which is out of scope for this specific issue.
Maybe questions like:
- How much experience? (Professional yoe, years using React, hobbyist, student)
- what are you focusing on? (Web skills, design, react, entrepreneurship, communication, management)
- other questions...?
"Done" is a reasonably pretty wizard-style series of questions that spits out a single book recommendation. User should be able to view the entire list, or ask for a new recommendation after answering (which should just shuffle through a list of options)
I love the idea of /learning/books but it doesn't get much traffic and I don't think it solves a problem people have — I love it because it's my list, but nobody particularly cares about my list of recommended books, and this is still a bookshelf to pick from. It narrows the search for a book but doesn't directly lead anywhere.
We should replace this with an account-based quiz. Ask people to log in with Discord, persist a bit of user data about past answers + which books they've read, and have a quiz app that advances different "interest categories". After enough quiz answers, it recommends a book for you to read. Signing in with Discord is optional, asked for at the end of the quiz
