Bookshelf

A library that shelves itself. Every book is read for what it's about and placed on the shelf it fits best, and each shelf names itself. Drag a book to another shelf if you disagree; click one to read about it. Bring your own with a Goodreads export.

reading the books…

A small language model (bge-small) reads each synopsis in your browser and places the book under whichever of 32 described genres it is closest to in meaning; genres with fewer than three books fold into their neighbours. The words under each shelf name are the ones most particular to it. Started from a reading app with shelves you drag between.
