Show HN: Homer – A tool to build interactive textbooks Hi HN, my name is Rahul Sarathy and I built Homer (https://usehomer.app), a tool to allow creators to build more interactive digital textbooks. Right now the software supports image based scrollytelling with a roadmap to add interactive components such as annotations, animations, backlinks, and more. You can check out a demo of an interactive history book here: https://ift.tt/3qXved6 Here's another short example of how a personal finance related book could look like: https://ift.tt/3e49pU1 If you're interested in checking out the UI used to build the demo above, feel free to sign up at https://ift.tt/3xAJ7AA and create a book.
