Curated collection of the greatest photography books

Hi HN! I've built a curated collection of the world's greatest photography books by legendary photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, Sebastião Salgado, and Richard Avedon. What makes this different: - Hand-picked selections from each master photographer's essential works - Clean, minimalist design focused on the art itself - Structured data and SEO optimization for discoverability - Real ratings and authentic reviews - Mobile-responsive design Why I built this: As a photography enthusiast, I was frustrated by the lack of quality curation in this space.

Hi HN! I've built a curated collection of the world's greatest photography books by legendary photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, Sebastião Salgado, and Richard Avedon. What makes this different: - Hand-picked selections from each master photographer's essential works - Clean, minimalist design focused on the art itself - Structured data and SEO optimization for discoverability - Real ratings and authentic reviews - Mobile-responsive design Why I built this: As a photography enthusiast, I was frustrated by the lack of quality curation in this space. Most sites either focus on gear or have poor UX. I wanted to create something that celebrates the artistic legacy of these masters while being genuinely useful for people discovering photography. Technical details: - Static site with semantic HTML and structured data - Optimized images and lazy loading - Clean CSS with no frameworks - Fast loading times The site covers iconic works like "The Decisive Moment" by Cartier-Bresson, Adams' landscape masterpieces, and Leibovitz's celebrity portraits. Each photographer section includes their most influential publications. Try it out: https://photographybooks.top/ I'd love to hear your thoughts on the curation, design, or any photographers you think should be included. What photography books have influenced you?

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
