A web-viewer flipbook for a personal project

After being frustrated by flipbook services with monthly payments and watermarks, I decided to start working on my own dynamic flipbook for a book I’m writing and releasing online. It uses JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to work, and can be found at https://msheckman.com/luna.
