Thank you so much!

What do you mean about having a key?

> a way to jump to a genre or theme

Yes! That's a good idea!

I'm also thinking about personalized visualizations based on your favorite books, maybe this could make it more shareable on social networks in order to get traction.

When I first looked at the page I wondered if the colors represented anything specific (fiction, drama, money, etc)

Yeah it seems like you could generate quite a nice reading list. The first thing I did was search a few of the books on my shelf and see what was similar. Its a really nice way to explore books.

Apologies as I don't understand the technicalities behind this but I feel this system would apply well to a Spotify / YouTube browser. It would help you explore without their algorithms putting you in a filter bubble.

Best of luck!


What were the size of the circles relating to? Popularity? Or sales?


You could say it is "popularity", yes
