   Ezra Klein Books – Every Book Recommended on the Ezra Klein Show▲7

   Hey HN! If you're a listener of the Ezra Klein Show podcast, you know he asks his guests 3 books they recommend. This side project catalogues all those books into a searchable and sortable list. It was my first time hiring a designer from Upwork to do the design, and overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's built using django, htmx, alpinejs, and tailwind. Happy to hear any and all feedback! Thanks!
