Hence, instead of systematically looking at &#8220;minimizing the number of clicks&#8221; to achieve each action, at some very specific points and when it makes sense, we have added some smooth interactions. As you sometimes play with the cover of your beloved print\u00a0books, you can play with your app, with no specific purpose in mind.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here is the &#8220;book details&#8221; screen that you can find while browsing a catalog:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/gUSUOZdy1js&#8221; el_aspect=&#8221;43&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Or simply the global navigation side-panel, whose transparency smoothly changes while it appears, and the main page content slightly goes to the background:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/D4FdwYRISyk&#8221; el_aspect=&#8221;43&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Enchantment and delight<\/h3>\n<p>Creating enchantment and delight\u00a0was really the real goal.\u00a0Based on the huge and amazing feedback we received, we probably did hit the target pretty close to the center! 10 times more ratings per day, and extremely positive reviews are a huge reward for the team and we appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>Of course all this is a start. While some consider that the &#8220;e-book trend\u00a0is declining&#8221;, we know that digital can provide high\u00a0value to the reader instead of multiplying issues and frustrations.\u00a0Digital\u00a0<em>must be<\/em>\u00a0<em>more reliable than paper, and provide more features!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our mission is clear: we need to create better apps, and we struggle for it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A few months ago Mantano Reader silently became Bookari and got a new fuschia pink logo that intrigued a few observers&#8230; This was the first tiny step in a far bigger project, which was a complete UI\/UX revamp, that has led to the brand new &#8220;Bookari 4&#8221; release in December.
