§A  Synopsis

A distraction-free shelf and reading workbench for every Bangladesh NCTB textbook: 2,855 books, pre-primary to class twelve, across ten academic years.

Finding an official textbook used to mean dense tables and fragmented government portals. The Shelf rebuilds the journey around the student: class → year → cover → read.

No accounts and no build step — plain HTML, CSS and ES modules. Highlights, margin drawings and bookmarks persist on the device in IndexedDB.

§CLoop sequenceThe chapter in view plays; the rest hold

  1. Ambient home with instant bilingual search: “Math” finds গণিত.

  2. Large targets from pre-primary through classes 11–12.

  3. Covers are the cards. Year selector, and streams for Secondary, Dakhil and Vocational.

  4. Single page, vertical scroll or horizontal strip; thumbnails, bookmarks, keyboard control.

  5. Highlight, draw and pin notes — saved locally, still there next time.
