Hi HN!

This is a Thanksgiving holiday project I made, inspired by a Robin Sloan novel and the whole "X for Y" thing getting a bit silly :)

It's rough right now, because I wanted to launch something rather than obsess like I usually do.

I'd love to hear what you think!

Congrats on posting! I like how simple it is, but still gets the job done.

What actually happens when I like or dislike?

Right now it just gets logged, I'm working on a collaborative filtering algorithm now that I have some data.

What if we could register ourselves and update our poetries? So we could like or dislike and find people with the same "taste".

Neat idea. Where did you source the poems from?

Slightly tangential, any good recommendations for poetry for beginners.

I remember that I used to like when I was in school but these days I kinda rush through them. So probably something which talks about the poems as well and helps me see the beauty in it.
