Create a website for a poem/book
Hey folks. A friend of mine is an excellent poet and he has a poem that he thinks is hard to get accepted by a publisher so I convinced him to create a website, showing the poem like a digital book, with transitions animations and a link to buy the digital book. Now I want to know if anyone know some examples of websites like this in order to get inspired.

Back in undergrad, circa the year 2000, I was in a class that did a close reading of T. S. Eliot's The Four Quartets going over it two or three lines at a time over the course of three days.
So, you can see what I thought the state of the art in XHTML was 25 years ago. 😸 (The pages used to have background images, but they're been lost to the winds of time.)
At this time, I was also experimenting with a file system structuring concept. The file's name is only the type of the content, "
xhtml", for instance. There are then many possible directory paths that hold and contextualize that file.
One of the side effects is you don't know what the parent directory is going to be, so there's no parent links, only forward links through a special directory .../ which represents the "relative root" of that instance.
The relative root is accomplished by linking .../ to ../.../ in every directory except the root of the site where .../ links to ./.
If you notice the address as you browse, it just keeps getting longer & longer. :confused:Thanks for your answer! I like your work, I'll use it as an inspiration for sure 🙂
Hey @CarlosDEV🤖🧙♂🤟 I recently got inspired to build a website for my wife who is a writer.
After I did some research I came up with this example:

I think this type of website can be really good for poems, books, presentation etc.
Cheers!
Awesome website! This look like threeJS I am exploring that library miself 🙂
Thanks for your response!
