Goals​

Web has changed a lot over the past ten years, with over 90% of Internet users going online using a mobile device first instead of a desktop. Devices that are not only touch capable but also unencumbered from the limitations of a "pointer-driven" interface. Our primary goal will be to use this opportunity of new web to bring the missing experience of books on it. Overall, the goal is to deepen the effectiveness of web by bringing books directly on it, and coalescing them together into a single unified resource that is both open and accessible.

Bubblin is the first step towards pushing books forward, by making them become a first class citizen of web. We want to quicken that process. We're building a bunch of open source tools and associated technology to produce native-class experience of books on the web. It is true that members of our community love reading well-formed books i.e. ones with beautiful typography, tightly formatted and responsive paginated content, a silky smooth page-transitioning experience that is critical to experience of books.

Note, all our books are also progressive single pages apps (pSPAs), meaning offline-first.

Thankfully, with modern web technologies all this is possible at scale now. Since our books can work in offline—mode i.e. without Internet connection we think that our technology we can bring a great change in the way that world has consumed ebooks.
