#2I love this and will use it.
I also love one of the lines of text in the slider image:
"The burrito cannons blared at noon"

It's part of the demo, Annabel Scheme and the Adventure of the New Golden Gate - https://robinsloan.github.io/perfect-edition/build/web/index... - which I'm reading now. The creator of the project is Robin Sloan, fiction author; I liked his book "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore."

#4Love this idea, are you looking for open source help?

#5This is very cool.
Can the artifacts generated in `build` be served as static content? EG can I just upload it to a website, rather than running the ruby server?

#6I tried the demo: https://robinsloan.github.io/perfect-edition/build/web/index.... It's very nice.
Since I was using the space key to page forward, it would be nice if shift+space would page backward (by analogy with scrolling up and down on mac os).

#7Nice! Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but I had two interesting observations:
1. Ctrl + back arrow (to go back to previous webpage) doesn't work, I think there's a redirect loop to the primary index.html page (easy enough to go around)
2. Zoom in/out doesn't resize the selector, instead the window stays the same size while the text changes, and some part of the previous/next page are in focus (not a big deal).
Looks really cool, thank you for sharing!

Yes, the demo's hosted on a github.io page.

#9Has the slowest scrolling by wheel I've ever seen. I scroll and scroll and watch the next page inch over for an eternity.

#10The work is nicely done.
But each time I see a website presenting a book content or catalog in pages like that, like if it was a real book, it really pisses me off.
It is a design move that goes against ergonomy.
Harder/slower to browser, harder/slower to seek, you have to do a mental break while pages are changing with effect that does not get the same efficiency feeling than a real book.
