What I Built
Gnoke Books works like an actual printed magazine on a table — you grab the corner of the page and flip it over.
This issue features Port Harcourt Bole & Fish: roasted plantain, sometimes roasted yam, grilled fish, and a pepper sauce people hardly talk about outside Rivers State. People hand it down through stories. A scrollable landing page would feel like an ad for it. A paginated issue feels like sitting down to read a memory.
The cover art is pure CSS — no image file fetched over the wire, just div boxes and gradients shaped directly in the browser. Under the hood, no frameworks, no build step. Once it loads the first time it packs its own bags into local storage and works offline, like keeping a physical booklet on your desk.
