Reply To: Is HebrewBooks Holier Than Sefaria?

“Why do non-religious people have an interest in participating or owning this?”
I thought the creators were actually MO guys, but it’s possible that it was created by secular academics (not unlike Jastrow).

The ability the click the text and have to refer you to a corresponding one might have been open-sourced. Meaning, it’s possible some of those connections were set up on Shabbos by a non-religious person. I’m probably making problem out of nothing, but that was kind of the idea with this thread.

Sefaria also has an API for those of us who are nerds. Unfortunately, I haven’t really gotten it to work for me. The query for a Hebrew text always comes back at strings of numbers and such.
