1) How are points assigned? I don't see any place to upvote/downvote, but I see that certain books have points while others do not.
2) There should be a way to sort by points.
Edit: Also, maybe a tagline at the top? (e.g. "Community curated collection of legally free books.") The 'about' page discusses the purpose of the site, but if I happened to just stumble upon the site, it wouldn't be clear how this is different from other sites that do not concern themselves with legality... especially since you have 'hacker' in the title ;)
Hi. To answer the first question, there's no explicit voting option. A book gains points everytime it's added to someone's shelf. So, no downvotes either.
As for sorting by points, I was hoping to add that when I implement search.
I agree, I should probably make the "legally" more explicit :) It's already in the title though.
Do you mean "legally" is in the title of web page, or of the HackerNews post? I see it on HN, but not on the website.
Btw, I'd like to echo someone's request for an RSS feed. I'd love to see when new books are added, and I wouldn't mind if you had ads or affiliate links to Amazon for hard copies in those updates.
