I'd like to make the book facing right. In Japan, books are bound right side.

Wow, uploading screenshot on 9gag! I usually just use the snipping tool and then paste on https://snag.gy

What's wrong with 9gag? It's a YC company to begin with, and works just like Imgur.

This: https://i.snipboard.io/31nbcm.jpg

Instead of just having the screenshot as the link I posted with the site I mentioned (and it's also easier for you, you just paste the screenshot).

Just a few points, in case it's not clear from the screenshot:

* First I have to handle the cookie policy

* I see A TON of content instead of only the screenshot, very distracting

* A lot more data downloaded

* A lot more tracking

* A lot slower to load

This might just be tangentially related, but I recently built a css booklet that has turnable pages for my personal website https://andykais.com/moleskine

Really cool! I can probably add this to my personal book app to make things look a bit nicer: https://books.j11g.com/

Your app is very cool! I agree, having 3D book images could make it look nice, tell me if you need any help for that :)

Ha! That was easy to implement.

This looks really cool: https://books.j11g.com/search.php?id=218

I made it so that the more pages a book has the thicker it will appear.

Thanks so much for this code!

Do you know the number of pages for each book? Then you could adjust the thickness automatically :)

I do! And I did implement it like this :)

Compare Infinite Jest (a big book) with other smaller books on my site. Looks pretty cool!

This is pretty cool. I sent the link to a professional author friend with a dated website.
