What is this?

With all the recent book banning in the US I realized there wasn't an easily searchable index of all the various bans. So, I set out to create this to improve the transparency around our current censorious moment.

Currently live at https://bookban.info/

TODO

• Hightlight matching string in search
• Filter on topics/keywords
• User controlled sorting?
• The current data source is static, this could maybe be dynamic or crowd-sourced
• Wire up gh actions to build and push changes to my server or investigate Vercel
• Add news page?
• Add books from my library page
• ?

Running the app
