submitted by mark on behalf of chris gutteridge. IDEA: make a plugin that displays book covers as if they are on a bookshelf, ordered by some fuzzy parameters - e.g. lets see all books about X, or all books by Y. Upon hovering, show the metadata. to replace the serendipity of browsing in a real library that has been lost by the digital world. submitted 16 Feb '11, 10:52 MarkMacGilli... ♦♦ |
