The Anatomy of a Page Turn
How we simulate reality in the browser.
PDF Parsing
We use Mozilla's PDF.js to parse the vector instructions of your document and render them onto an OffscreenCanvas, ensuring razor-sharp text at any zoom level.
Texture Mapping
The canvas output is passed to Three.js WebGL shaders. We apply normal maps to simulate the microscopic bumps of real paper and adjust the specular highlights.
Physics & Audio
As you drag the page, a custom vertex shader curls the geometry. Simultaneously, the Web Audio API synthesizes the exact sound of paper brushing against air.
Experience the Sound Engine
Zero audio files. 100% procedurally generated sound using the Web Audio API.
Cosmic Curations
Award-winning classics curated for your journey.

The most beautiful reading experience I've ever encountered. The page flips feel so real it's uncanny.
I've completely abandoned my physical e-reader. The dark cosmic theme perfectly complements my late-night sci-fi binges.
