Some good news: Since 2024, over 700 independent bookshops have opened. Print book sales have risen in each of the last two years. Denmark and Norway are spending millions to get screens out of schools and bring books back. *This* is what real progress looks like.
@collin_ruth89 Grok is about 80-90% as good as Claude and way cheaper. I have been experimenting with the 2 and really am fine with Grok. Then again we aren't doing hardcore coding so maybe thats what you're doing, then Claude all the way.
Today, I got the best call I could have received. A manager of a government ran library called me to tell me how invaluable @Booklooky is to his readers. I had him email me a testimonial.
"The Book Looky Rating service has been an invaluable resource for our library community. It's clear, thoughtfully crafted ratings help our patrons who are blind or visually impaired quickly discover books that match their interests and reading preferences. The service is easy to navigate with assistive technology, and its reliable insights save us time when selecting and recommending accessible titles. We truly appreciate how their work supports our mission of delivering meaningful, high‑quality reading experiences to every patron we serve."

This is why I made it, it is free to all readers to use. I am not and will not sell information, collect user data, or anything like that. It is for readers to feel comfortable reading books new to them.
Authors & Publishers, this tool will help you gain trust with your readers and help them know what subjects are in your books.

BookLooky exists so parents can get insight in to books and make their own choices on what their kids read.
No judgement, no spoilers, just a basic rating to make an informed decision.
This is why @booklooky exists. Not enough people know about it yet.
I would not let my kid read a book with a 4 in sexuality.

@Wootini@books_n_books4U I can attest! @BookLooky works like a champ and helps readers make educated decisions based on their own values, likes, and dislikes.
📚🔎 I have officially launched the Beta of my passion project, https://t.co/F9lqStSqSw—an actual rating system to let us parents know what subject matters are in our children's books. It works for all books, but the idea came from not knowing what my kids are reading and being exposed to.
I realized that all forms of content we consume have ratings: movies, TV shows, video games, music... but not books!
It is a free tool and will always be free. Use it as much as you like. I'll be publishing an Android App today and IOS as soon as I can. You can easily just take a picture of the book cover and the system will analyze it.
It is a system to understand book content, categorize it, and produce a rating that's easy to understand for kids and parents alike.
My 10 year old created the Logo and it has been a family effort to create this, with both my children, wife, and friends helping.
I would love any feedback as it is a work in progress.
Here's an example from one of my favorite childhood books.
