Hello HN!
We're the Bubblin'oes and we're trying to "reinvent" books.
I know this sounds a bit hackneyed but our motivation with Bubblin is to make books a first class citizen of web. Make them gorgeous, accessible and full of life.
It starts by considering that book is a collection of webpages. And then we can choose to do books with anything inside 'em: WebGL, Shaders, CSS3, JavaScript, HTML5 - you name it!
Recently one of our books 'ABCs for babies'[1] was well received in this community.
It's nothing but a bunch of cute alphabets and animals done in pure CSS3. It's also open source:
