Javascript framework which uses web standards to dynamically lay out and paginate publications. I don’t like the ‘click to scroll sideways’ user interface that I’m seeing more and more, but anything that promotes web standards instead of proprietary formats is worthwhile, and the Table of Contents idea is nice.

As Zeldman says:

“Mobile is huge. The iPhone, iPad, and Android are huge. On the one hand, they are standards-facing, because they all support HTML5 and CSS3, so you can create great mobile experiences using web standards. You can create apps using web standards. On the other hand, there is also the temptation to go a proprietary route. In a strange way, although the browsers are much more standards compliant, it seems like we are redoing the browser war. Only now, it’s not the browser wars, it’s platform wars.”
