Debugging code, capturing moments, reading too much, raising a tiny human, and building privacy-first open source tools. Hi, I’m James! 👋
The “run an LLM automatically if the test fails” idea seems like a fun and useful weekend project. I might take a look at that.

Yes what? Do they use it or am I showing my age? The digital dinosaur part might be a clue 🤔

The world runs on it these days, and it’s quite fun to work with!

Have a few ideas for projects using this API 🤔

- A front-end so people can search information about books.
- A “is this a series” kind of website that tells you if a book is part of a series.
- A website where you can download book covers.

So many ideas, so little time. Thanks, tiny human!

Just change the ISBN to the one of whatever book you want information on.

The API hasn’t been tested outside my network, runs on a single small VPS, and is likely to break apart, but hey, it’s progress!

Already refreshed three times to see if anyone liked this. The muscle memory is instant.
