Nice! I recently built something similar, but less longform:
https://booklitapp.com https://booklitapp.com
(The demo on the homepage is swipeable on mobile and draggable on desktop.)
My goal was to be mobile-first. One thing I haven't added yet is a table of contents generator - I like how you have the TOC toggle at the bottom!
- dvt 6y agoThis is awesome! You should do a Show HN: The example is particularly poignant. It blurs the line between a book and a cartoon. This is what a children's book should be in 2020.
- throwaway413 6y agoThank you for checking it out! The inspiration came from wanting to easily make kids' books with my son :)
- IggleSniggle 6y agoThis is nice! Since you mentioned you wanted to be mobile first, I should mention a couple issues I ran into on my phone: The header bar, with Login and Signup on the right, did not fit on my screen (stopped right around the "S" of Signup), and I was not able to horizontal scroll the header to get to that link, even though it look like it would be horizontal scrollable. It seemed like while I was interacting with the book on the front page, either the book jumped up and down or the vertical scroll jumped up and down (I'm not sure which) as the sell-text was written and removed.
- throwaway413 6y agoThanks for this feedback! Really appreciated - I'm working on an overhaul of the landing page but I'm going to quickly fix these two issues in the mean time.
