Hey, great work! I'm interested in how you did that flip book effect and unfortunately the JavaScript code looks minified and is very hard to read. Did you use a library or did you hand-write it yourself?



Seems to be in https://github.com/bookiza/bookiza


Quick google finds: http://www.turnjs.com/ (not what OP uses probably)


Yeah, I know that one. It's discontinued, though - I'm actually looking for a replacement for this exact library.

Been thinking about writing my own implementation but was hoping for an alternative when I saw this post.


If I were to write my own implementation, I don't even know how to start.

For doing stuff like this, what background knowledge do you need?

I assume it's just math, but as a junior dev do you know what should I learn to do things like this?
