Show HN: GoodReadsLunatics – I turned 16,000 book reviews into a game

I decided to give Blazor a try and created a small project called GoodreadsLunatics. It’s a game where you guess which book a review comes from based on some of the funniest Goodreads reviews I filtered out.

To build it, I started with a list of the 100 most-read books and scraped multiple reviews for each book. Then, I used a large language model (via Semantic Kernel) to evaluate and score the reviews for humor. Afterward, I manually approved the funniest ones since many reviews were either genuine, not funny, or in a different language.

I'm currently still manually approving reviews for the game.

The project is hosted on a Hetzner server, and I’m happy to answer any questions about it!
