#233A way to find books by different categories (by prizes their authors have won).
I gave up on the site after a month or two (and a lot of work), but I'm putting some more effort into it again. It's the first website I've ever built, so any feedback is appreciated!

Right now my API can calculate emissions for flights, driving, shipping and electricity generation.

#238An app to help couples learn each other's languages ( https://learncoupling.com ) My wife is Chinese, and I've been learning Cantonese and Mandarin off-and-on on my own for years.
