1. Can I extend the functionality of my web app using native code where necessary (adding background GPS geofences, etc) There doesn't appear a reason as to why not? This should be doable. 2. Do I have access to the real modern web sta

wow. that's a great insight! indeed, pushing the PWA adoption forward is one of the main goals of Red Goose and its sub-tooling.

Great questions! I'm Marvin, one of the founders of Red Goose and the maker of the Toucaan CSS framework. 1. We gravitated towards a new css framework following some initial work with existing web apps that were responsively designed.

I like the formatting adaptation on this page! Especially, the micro-formatting of each indented paragraph and its subtopic. This technique is applied heavily in print books and technical journals (long dense form) even today, where each ac

It is possible to shave the remaining 252MB as well by using webassembly, a webview wrapper from a service like Red Goose, and an intrinsic css framework like Toucaan. [1] https://github.com/Toucaan/toucaan

Since you mentioned React Native, I assume you're pointing towards mobile app development. The best stack combination for me has been webview + PWA + webassembly + toucaan to create an intrinsically designed universal mobile-web app. T

Exactly! Software has shortchanged the idea of books, which is a consumer product, with the idea of files, which spawned originally for only enterprise use-cases like the MS Word, PDF, and what not.

Yes, but a dimly lit room will cause more exertion on the pupillary muscles anyway, because the flux of light is way too low for all types of focused activity like reading. Both undivided attention and the flux of light have a significant i

100%. The nature of light that falls on the retina doesn’t change whether it’s reflected off of a surface or shine directly via an incandescent bulb. What matters to the eye is the flux of light (i.e. intensity) and for that, the emissive s

Counter-intuitive, but a reflective screen is potentially more damaging to the eyes than a transflective (illuminated) one because with the reflective one, the reader has to depend on the ambient lighting entirely. Many times the flux of li

This is an excellent hardware project! Open hardware e-reader is definitely a step in the right direction. However, I like to believe that the future of books is independent of hardware. Platform agnostic and liberated from hardware––so to

How is the web browser experience on the ReMarkable? It kinda sucks on the Kindle and forces me to consider an iPad to make up for open access.

You are comparing on-the-web text and conversations with downloaded longform artifacts (files) that do not register read events like the other smaller resources. According to some purists, books have not even happened on the web yet, and on

There are some things that both a book index and even full text search cannot solve. For example, if the teacher asks why in the Pride and Prejudice does Elizabeth lose temper on Mr. Darcy?, those smart-on-the-surface solutions can't t

Proprietary tablet vs. a browser feature on the open web–which option would you take?

That's a spurious claim! Pulp harvesting often destroys the native flora and fauna, and the cost of lost forests and animal habitat cannot be recovered.

You need a peer-reviewed research to know the difference between natural habitat and cultivated land?

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to respond at length to the demo I shared. This will help me improve/improvise it a little more! Overall, there’s a lot of work before a book like this goes native on the web. Better still, it the exp
