do you happen to have a guide on how to achieve this - I am fairly technical but still configuring Vlans and moving devices there would be good with some step by step instructions.

Simple ans. Crypto provides regulatory arbitrage. The steps and process to do the same in Fiat is riddled with regulation and hurddles. the same on crypto side is easy to do as of now. that is it.

Totally agreed.bailout anyway you want to cut and slice it! they should have put a cost on the depositors! Why do banks and depositors of other banks have to incur the additional cost coming from here!

They look wonderful. There should be digitization efforts to preserve some of these.

Love it. School and county/city libraries are great under utilized resources. That is one of the reason we put the library links directly as well. During COVID my son used a ton of the ebook lending from our local County library.

Yes. Thanks for sharing this. We have not even put any affiliate links. As you rightly pointed out - this is purely a learning project and at the same time a way to help others who were having the same issue as me (spending lot of time identifying good books to read).

Yes, that is definitely a good way to represent. Instead of age group based recommendation...we simply call it Phase 3, Phase 4 etc...

Not taking it as criticism. I totally agree with you. I think as a parent of these advanced kids it puts more onus on the parent and kid to work together to identify appropriate books based on these reference points.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely ask my son to check it out and then add it.

Totally agree with you on all the points. As with most recommendations - YMMV.

This is just to provide a guideline/reference. The way I recommend seeing this list is - say your kid likes "The Penderwicks" then..."hey are few other books that are similar to The Penderwicks"

Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestions. Hope you find the site it useful. Totally agree with you, SEO is definitely an area to focus on so we can get organic search traffic.

btw - good fun series to pick up post Magic treehouse would be - Press Start, geronimo stilton/Thea stilton and Dogman to name a few.

Hi HN, Bookvine.io helps find age appropriate books for kids, with links to get it from Amazon or your local county library (limited to US for now). This was created by my 13yr old son who is an avid reader. I used to spend hours trying to get the right books for him to read and then get it from local county library or Amazon. He wanted to create this site from the books that he has read - to help others in a similar situation. He used Webflow to create the site (I am a software engineer and guided him thru the process and some custom JS coding that was required) More about the story in the About Page. We would love some feedback or suggestions, to help improve the website. (there are no ads/no sign up/no monetary benefit etc) There are almost 300 books, along with reviews and recommendations - categorised by age - to make it easier for parents and kids to pick the next book to read easily.
