It was pretty great to be back at Code for America, this time as a hacker instead of an organizer. There ended up being over 20 presentations, all about the future of reading, and I met some amazing people. Pretty sure I've found my tribe. #codexhack #hack #booklove

We make a point of getting tools, APIs, and data sets available for our participants. We've had APIs from The New York Times, Wattpad, Mailchimp, Dropbox, Shelfie, Goodreads. In addition we got reviews from Publishers Weekly, covers from Recovering the Classics, short stories from One Story, and novellas from Nouvella.
Then we put them in a Dropbox folder.
