What it is

Books on meditation, philosophy and the contemplative traditions, reading guides, studies of whole authors, and courses from teachers. Inner Love, the first course, is free. Teachers and writers can publish there too.

What’s under it

A data pipeline that works through 40M+ Open Library records on ordinary hardware, filters them down to the books that belong on FireSoul, and builds its own records from them. Where a record has gaps, it fills them from the Library of Congress, Google Books and Wikipedia. And when one of those is down, it keeps going.

Django and Wagtail, PostgreSQL, Redis, deployed with Ansible to my own servers.
