BookClub is an experiment in long-form reading and typography within the desktop browser. The desktop browser is an often ignored device when it comes to on-screen reading, while devices such as the Kindle and iPad get preferential treatment.

BookClub aims to improve the desktop reading experience in the following ways: Create a rhythmic flow when reading; A superior and less disorienting scrolling experience; Removal of all superfluous UI elements; Usage of full screen real estate; Keyboard navigation (J, K).

You can view the BookClub demo here (Demo #1, Demo #2) on Chrome, Safari or Firefox, or check out the source on GitHub. I've also written a blog post further detailing this project and it's motivations here. I'm interested in developing this into a publishing platform for short stories and creative writing; if you are a developer who would be interested in contributing I would love to hear from you.

If you are the author of said content and would like it taken down please just let me know and I would be happy to take it down. Thank you to James Burke for helping me with this project.
