A real product hunt for books?

So i actually just discovered product hunt the other day and I noticed that the "book" category is mainly programming, tech, and business books. What if there was a "real" product hunt for all types of books? Any opinions on whether or not that's worth building?

  1. 1

    Which means you didn’t discover goodreads.com yet

    1. 2

      No I haven't. But that doesn't seem to be the same thing---book recommendations based on (probably) some machine learning/statistics algorithms (people who liked X probably like Y). What I had in mind is influencers upvoting/commenting on "the book of the day". That means it's a way to "get the word out" for your book. Authors have a completely different experience in product hunt vs goodreads. The former is more tailored to help authors, the latter is for consumers.
