You guys inspired me to start this thing. Thank you! What can I improve? What's not perfect yet?
After following India Hackers for a while, I was motivated to build my idea. After reading some interviews I stumbled upon http://hackernewsbooks.com which is similar and helped me when starting.
I listen to the Tim Ferriss podcast. They recommend a lot of books but usually I'm not able to stop and write them down because I'm driving or running so I made a newsletter. https://timferrissbooks.carrd.co One email per week that lists all books mentioned on the podcast during the past 7 days.
Would love to hear what you think and let me know what's not perfect yet.
(btw if you want the entire list of all books recommended, these guys have a great list - http://fourhourbook.club)
Good job man, however it would be good to have the archives up on the site (or is that the plan and its week 0 right now?)
Exactly, this week I'm planning to add that. Once you sign up, you'll be able to see previous episodes on the confirmation page and I'll include a link in each email.
sounds good, I just signed up
Cool idea Darius! My tip would be to think of a good name and get a custom domain - this will help you think about where you could take this project too :)
Thanks! yes that's definitely the plan. For now I just wanted to test it out and if I see people actually want it, I'll start improving. Custom domain is one of the first things.

Good question, I find it that while I was listening to the podcast, I didn't have time time to write down the book title because I was running or driving. I would often forget about it by the time I got home so I would probably forget to check a website with a list.
With a newsletter I don't have to remember to check the book. It's what I would have wanted for myself I guess :D
Both web and newsletter work, and will complement and feed to the other.
