Literal is a terrific product and I hope it gains traction. As for my own entries… - Lapvonia by Moshfegh and Hollow by Catling are both sort of magical-realism set in medieval European villages, which would normally be considered "fantasy" but... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • How to Generate Dynamic SEO Image On Share?
    Hey all! Today I found a pretty cool feature on this book club site I use, literal.club. When you share your profile, Literal displays an image with the covers of 5 books that you've read.
