Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out

#1
After watching The Odyssey, I thought it would be cool to check out some scenes from the source in detail, but I don't have time to read the whole book. So I came up with a sort of zoom/microscope, that allows to see the whole book at a glance and then zoom in (by pinching) on the part I'm interested in. I can do so down to the actual source text and get the authentic feel the author intended, at the same time I better understand where am I in the text and also the character and places are clickable so I can quickly orient myself on the context. Moreover each character has relationships listed and a map of relationships can be opened from there https://book.curiora.space/relations/

Wow, I love the concept! (The mitology is so complex, for example, as far as I know there are different understandings why and how Clytemnestra kills Agamemnon, so probably it's for the best that you don't go into details at this point.) Would be great if you could include other stories as well.
