Open source (LGPL) JavaScript-based eBook reader engine written in TypeScript.
The overall idea is to create a simplest possible wrapper for the system-native web-browser. In the hope of browser perfectioning, we delegate to the browser 90% or more of the critical work and hope that overall performance of the engine will be nice even if JS will not perform perfectly.
The reason is simple: nobody wants to maintain 300 KB of pure hardcore JS code. I (GribUser) have twice created a web-based reader for fb2 (as you can see on LitRes) and it got harder and harder and harder to maintain the code. When I started to draw a class structure for the new reader I got sick of all this (function)()) stuff. Never again. TypeScript is nice and simple, and it allows you to painlessly maintain even a huge and feature-rich code.
Anyone. At the moment, I'm building a frame for the project and plan to rule the trunk for some time by myself. But you can send me your diff or make a pull request right now, if you feel urgent. It's always fun when somebody makes your job for you :)
