I'm fascinated with the frequently downloaded information page on the Project Gutenberg website. The website has a huge amount of traffic and the download numbers are incredible for public domain literature that are also available for free on other platforms that rank higher on Google Search.
I spun up this project to learn more about the information and attempt to aggregate and visualize some of the data.
As a quick and dirty, I created a Google spreadsheet and wrote an AppsScript that scrapes the above linked webpage daily and saves data content to the sheet.
This app pulls from that spreadsheet to populate data but will change at some point in the future bc it is a bit messy and def not optimal.
This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app
.
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx
. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.ts
.
The pages/api
directory is mapped to /api/*
. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
This project uses next/font
to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js.
