The Awesome Paged.js

So, I’ve been pursuing this dream for many years… every since I started rendering books in the browser using an ad-hoc collection of tools around 10 years ago…. then I instigated the book.js project (which unfortunately died due to lack of browser support of CSS Regions), and now… paged.js…

Built by the talented trio of Julie Blanc, Fred Chasen and Julien Taquet – it’s all open source and modular… there is a lot to this story, but we’ll get to that. Full release in a few weeks, this is a sneak peak:

Paged.js – sneak peeks

This project is entirely funded by the awesome Shuttleworth Foundation.

PagedMedia Page Floats

Some time ago I employed Julie Blanc from my Shuttleworth Fellowship to work for the PagedMedia project. Julie has been doing amazing work and just today released this incredible article about Page Floats:

With a running demo app: http://demos.pagedmedia.org/page-floats/

Really amazing stuff. Please share it widely!
