Show HN: E-Book Site for Classics
- kermittd 8y agoHi HN, The creator of the project here. This is a major update to a project I submitted a year ago. At the time I could not develop nor set up a website and let Weebly do the heavy lifting. This caused a ton of technical issues and held up the project but since then I have learned the basics of front-end development. Finally, I recently was able to integrate the Algolia API to add a working search feature to the project. Now that I have (somewhat) the skill and some free time I plan to make rapid progress throughout the summer!
- dschep 8y agoWhat does this add that Project Gutenberg doesn't provide? And how is an "Apple ePub" different from a standard ePub file?
- kermittd 8y agoI would say a more intuitive/modern interface. I did not know ePub was a general standard as I had always used it in the context of Apple books.
