• Thoughts on a different way to give gifts to your S/O.

  As an alternative to finding a brick-and-mortar library to donate the book to, there are also online book trading options like Paperback Swap or Bookmooch (both of which I have used extensively in the past). Additionally there is BookCrossing, which lets you simply leave a book anywhere to be found by a stranger, and even track where it travels afterward. Source: about 1 year ago

• Little Free Library

  I remember this site called http://bookmooch.com (it still exists!) where I used to regularly swap books with others. The site operates on the same concept: you list your books, and then mail them out when someone requests them of you, and of course, you are also free to request books from other members of the site. I used to be an avid user (and braved many a visit to the Post Office to mail out books), but sadly... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is there a book swap/ thrift shop app

  There is also BookMooch, which I have never used - a friend used it years ago and liked it, but again that's with the caveat that I have no idea what it looks like recently. They do have a nice feature where you can see what books were recently posted, so you get a sense of who's active and what's up there. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Where to buy books in French?

  Lastly, I have had some success with other language books with BookMooch: http://bookmooch.com/. It's not new books, but sometimes they do have other language books. Source: over 2 years ago

• I'd like to do something about sustainability, and I've always had this pet project in mind involving barcodes. Am I out of my gourd?

  (So I'm in IT but I want to move more into engineering, I've been thinking more about going to get my BS.) Anyway, my idea is to build some sort of app where people can scan things they're about to throw away and people can find them and use them. And that requires some computer vision/recognition or barcode database. Because computer vision is far away at this point, I'm interested in learning about bar codes and... Source: over 2 years ago

• Daily Megathread - 10/05/2021

  Aww, thanks! In the past I did a lot of book-swapping on Book Mooch and currently most of my childhood books are on FreeCycle, I love sharing books. :). Source: almost 3 years ago
