Show HN: Find book authors with a specific background, e.g. sci-fi by physicists
I initially wanted to create a static list of sci-fi written by scientists, but got carried away and made something more general. Technically, it is a simple Laravel website hosted on a cheap Linode instance. I used jQuery (!) for the front-end and Solr for the search engine. The data comes from Wikidata and Open Library with some manual categorization.
It has already satisfied my use case perfectly, filling up my to-read list for months. Curious if it works for other people too, and happy to hear any feedback or ideas!
