Show HN: CSS3 art book for babies
- qhoc 11y agoThis is awesome. Exactly what I need for my baby.. :D
- flyfast 11y agoSuper cute! I wonder if there is a more common animal with "I" then the iguana...
- marvindanig 11y agoThanks! Not many; we chose Iguana over Impala because it's more fun for toddlers to speak out "Eee-goo-vaana" with a hand action. :-)
- phillc73 11y agoIbex or ibis perhaps. I thought there were other more interesting choices, like Xerus and Urial. I really didn't mind the more esoteric animals, mixed with the common, as I thought it made a good learning experience. I'd love my boy to point at a red squirrel and (incorrectly) shout Xerus! Xerus! Or (less likely) a mouflon calling it a urial, so I could patiently explain the difference.
- ataylor32 11y agoVery cool! Well done! My only suggestion would be to replace the font used for the letters with something more generic. As it is now, some of the letters don't really look the way they usually do in popular fonts. I think the best examples of this are the "G", "Q", and "S". The "G" actually looks better in Firefox 44 than Chrome 48 (both on Mac OS X 10.10). I like the animations, though, and I like how the letters animate when you hover over them.
- har777 11y agoNiiiice. Very well done !! :)
- b15h0p 11y agoHey, great work! I'm interested in how you did that flip book effect and unfortunately the JavaScript code looks minified and is very hard to read. Did you use a library or did you hand-write it yourself?
- zuck9 11y agoQuick google finds: http://www.turnjs.com/ http://www.turnjs.com/ (not what OP uses probably)
- b15h0p 11y agoYeah, I know that one. It's discontinued, though - I'm actually looking for a replacement for this exact library. Been thinking about writing my own implementation but was hoping for an alternative when I saw this post.
- zuck9 11y agoIf I were to write my own implementation, I don't even know how to start. For doing stuff like this, what background knowledge do you need? I assume it's just math, but as a junior dev do you know what should I learn to do things like this?

- carlesfe 11y agoThis is very sweet, and also quite appealing even if we ignore the technological feat. I'm sure many parents will love it, great work!
- dhruvio 11y agoWell done, very cool!
- iqonik 11y agoNice, any reason you haven't launched it as an App and tried to make some money? :)
- timosz 11y agoAwesome! Very well-crafted and ultra consistent among all devices!
- Theodores 11y agoThe fonts might be very pretty but are they fit for purpose? The flashcards I can remember always seemed to use totally sensible fonts with not even the slightest whiff of hipster about them. There was no merging between letters or 'wedding invite' fonts. Clever this may be, but, for me, I would prefer fonts that were better suited to learning the English Language.
- derpydev 11y agoAs a new father, I really love this; thank you for your effort. My wife and I have been gathering lots of books to read to our baby and this will be an awesome addition!
